These conflicts are predominantly centered on disputes over land and cause great insecurity and widespread displacement across the region. On 13 May 2021, a clash between neighbouring Tiv and Fulani communi�es in Bali LGA in Taraba state was reported which led to a wave of popula�on displacement. Following this event, rapid assessments were conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports u�lise direct observa�on and a broad network of key informants to gather representa�ve data and collect informa�on on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected popula�ons. The clash affected a total of 7,296 individuals in Bali LGA of Taraba State. Affected individuals were forced to flee their loca�ons of origin towards villages in Logo, Ukum, Katsina-Ala and Vandeikya LGAs in the neighbouring state of Benue, and Gassol LGA and the ward Bali A within Bali LGA of Taraba State. A total of 245 casual�es were recorded and 698 shelters were damaged.
