IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix has been monitoring displacement movements since 15 October 2017, when Iraqi Security Forces began moving into disputed areas that had previously been held by Kurdish forces. These areas included parts of Ninewa, Diyala, Salah al-Din and Erbil Governorates.
As of October 16, 2018, a total of 94,098 people remain displaced following the handover of the disputed areas. The current total for returnees from this crisis is 232,764. Returnee figures should be interpreted with caution as the situation was particularly fluid in the early weeks of the crisis, with many displacement movements lasting a matter of days.
The Disputed Areas - Emergency Tracking will be updated on each Monday.
