DTM EMERGENCY TRACKING MOVEMENT OF CAMP IDPs Period covered: 30 NOVEMBER – 6 DECEMBER 2020
ARRIVAL OF IDPs FROM CAMPS TO NON-CAMP SETTINGS 1
Between 30 November and 6 December 2020, a total of 531 households (2,484 individuals) Arrivals have been recorded as arriving to non-camp settings following the camp closures that are 4,735 Households currently taking place. A total of 4,735 households (23,158 individuals) have been recorded 23,158 Individuals2 as arriving to non-camp settings since the camp closures began in mid-October. These households have arrived to the governorates of Anbar, Baghdad, Diyala, Erbil, Kerbala, 72% as returnees Kirkuk, Ninewa, and Salah al-Din. Of the total recorded arrivals since 18 October 2020, 28% as out-of- 1,311 households (28%) have not returned to their location of origin and are now camp IDPs considered to be secondarily displaced, while 3,424 households (72%) have returned to their respective village or neighborhood of origin and are considered to be returnees. An update to the joint survey by the Iraq Information Centre (IIC), CCCM and Protection Clusters highlights that 58% of the 976 surveyed households who departed camps, primarily from Hamam Al Alil 2 camp in Ninewa, as well as some households from camps in Diyala and Anbar, have returned to their area of origin, a proportion that reflects the data collected by DTM in areas of arrival. Among the total assessed households, it was further determined by IIC that 25% of them did not return to their habitual residence. The primary reasons given by respondents during the survey for not returning to areas of origin were damaged shelter, lack of livelihood opportunities and unstable security situation in the area of origin.3 Ninety-five per cent (95%) of the households surveyed intend to remain at their current location in the month following data collection.
1 Unless specified otherwise, camp settings include both formal camps and big informal sites. 2 In most cases, data on the number of individuals departing camps and arriving to new locations was collected. Where this could not be collected, the number was estimated based on an average household size of 6. 3 CCCM Cluster, Protection Cluster and IIC Camp Departures Follow Up Survey, September 2019 – November 2020, Round 27.

The above chart brings together data from this Emergency Tracking exercise and the Return Index round 10 to identify the level of severity in the districts of return that individuals have arrived to following their departure from camps. DTM’s Return Index tool measures the severity of conditions in locations of return. In 15 out of the 26 districts having witnessed new arrivals from camps, a total of 5,677 newly arrived individuals are hosted in high severity locations. As of the Master List of October, these locations were already hosting a total of 200,640 returnees, including 20,436 individuals in critical shelters. In addition, 6,893 newly arrived individuals now live in locations with medium severity across 20 of the districts of return.4 Thirty-eight per cent (38%) of the households departing from camp settings to locations of return settled in locations with high severity. Ninewa governorate hosts the highest number of households living in highly severe conditions, especially in the districts of Telafar (326 households), Al-Ba’aj (292), followed by Baiji district (156) in Salah al-Din governorate. This compliments findings from CCCM’s follow-up IIC survey that highlights that forty per cent (40%) of households reported that at least one member of their household requires but is unable to access medical care, thirty- three per cent (33%) reported they did not have access to sufficient drinking water, and forty-eight per cent (48%) report they are unable to access sufficient food to meet basic needs.5
