The Directorate General of Civil Protection (DGPC) and the IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) have been conducting periodic assessments of locations hosting displaced populations since August 2022. Data is collected through direct observations as well as interviews with key informants at the lowest administrative level, which is the neighborhood in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince (MAPAP) and the communal section outside the MAPAP. Data collection: 01 August – 04 September 2024 Publication : 22 September 2024 1,042 702,973 Internally Displaced Persons +22% ✓ A slight decrease (6%) in the number of IDPs was observed in the MAPAP, reflecting the continuation of displacement from the capital to provinces but in smaller proportions compared to the period of March-April 2024. Returns of some IDPs was also observed, in particular in certain neighborhoods of the municipality of Cité Soleil (see section on returnees). of IDPs in host families / out of sites Increase in the number of IDPs compared to Round 6 117 in sites sites 95 in MAPAP (1 less compared to Round 7) 22 in province (+4 compared to Round 7) 54% ✓ Provinces host 75% of the country's IDPs. In particular, the Great South (departments of South, Grande'Anse, SouthEast and Nippes) hosts almost half of all IDPs: 45% of the country's IDPs are hosted in these 4 departments. ✓ 65,535 returnees formerly IDPs were identified, particularly in the commune of Cité Soleil where a 151% increase in the number of returnees was observed. It should be noted that for the moment these returns remain very fragile and are not sustainable, particularly in the MAPAP. Indeed, returnees are often displaced again following new attacks in their return area: in the MAPAP, 52% of IDPs have already been displaced more than once and these repeated movements include new displacements after having returned home (see the report on displacement dynamics for more details). 170,255 Displaced households 17% 83% ✓ The MAPAP currently hosts a quarter of the country's IDPs, compared to about a third during the previous Round (25% in Round 8 vs 32% in Round 7). ✓ At the national level, the majority of IDPs are hosted in host families/out of sites: 83% (vs 17% in sites). However, in the MAPAP the majority of IDPs reside in sites (63% in sites vs. 37% in host families/out of sites), while in provinces the opposite is true (98% in host families/out of sites vs. 2% in sites). interviewed key informants Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) ✓ The last round of these assessments (Round 7 – published in June 2024) had indicated that 578,074 people were internally displaced in Haiti. This new round indicates the presence of 702,973 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), almost 22% more than in Round 7. The armed attacks in the municipality of Gressier (located in the West department, outside the MAPAP) are the main reason for this increase; this municipality has been almost emptied of its population following these attacks and has become the second municipality of origin for IDPs in the country whereas it was in 5th position during Round 7. ✓ The West Department, particularly the MAPAP, is the place of origin of the vast majority of IDPs in all departments. The only exception is Artibonite, where 56% of IDPs fled from areas within the same department.. 3,688 assessed locations 52% of IDPs are women (adults and minors) of IDPs are children IDPs’ period of displacement <1% 4% 4% 27% 65% Before 2021 2021 2022 2023 2024 Returnees formerly IDPs 65,535 15,980 Returned persons Returned households INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATIONS Website: https://dtm.iom.int/haiti Contact: dtmhaiti@iom.int 3 31% more than in Round 7 The following citation is required when using the data and information included in this report: “International Organization for Migration (IOM), September 2024, DTM Assessment of the displacement situation in Haiti.

As such, it does not present the overall evolution or the cumulative number of displacements for a given year, but rather indicates the periods during which began the displacement of persons currently displaced. Violence-related reasons were the reason for displacement for almost all IDPs in Haiti. Only 0.3% of those currently displaced were displaced due to a natural disaster. The year 2024 constitutes the period of displacement for the majority of persons who are currently displaced, indicating a growing deterioration in the security situation during this year.

Thus, nearly 15,000 IDPs had returned home between the two rounds. +77% 155,166 This significant increase was due to the deterioration of the general situation in MAPAP following sometimes violent social protest movements, particularly due to the increase in the price of fuel. 87,895 More than 173,000 people are internally displaced in the MAPAP, 6% less than in Round 7. The municipality of Port-au-Prince hosts the majority of IDPs in the MAPAP (57%), followed by Delmas (28%). Unlike the situation in provinces, in the MAPAP the majority of IDPs (63%) are hosted in sites. 95 sites have been identified in the MAPAP hosting 109,540 IDPs (3% less than in Round 7). The slight decrease in IDPs’ number can be explained by the continued departures of people leaving the capital to go to provinces and by the return of IDPs in certain areas of the MAPAP, particularly in Cité Soleil (see page 20 for more details).

IDPs in sites in the MAPAP Data collection: 01 August – 04 September 2024 Publication : 22 September 2024 On average, sites in the MAPAP host 1,153 IDPs. Most sites in the MAPAP are located in the municipality of Port-au-Prince (60 of the 95 sites are located in this municipality). 89% of all IDPs in this municipality are hosted in sites, and 11% are in host families/out of sites (see Figure 19 on the next page). When significant displacement started to happen in the MAPAP in 2022, most IDPs were hosted in host families: by the end of 2022, only a quarter of all IDPs were in sites. A year later, by the end of 2023, the situation had reversed, with the majority of IDPs residing in sites (58%). This trend continued in 2024 and currently, more than 6 out of 10 IDPs reside in sites (63%) (see Figure 17). Figure 17. Evolution of the proportions of IDPs in host families vs in sites from 2022 to 2024 96 86 75% 75% 62% 50 51 25% Round 1 (August 2022) Round 2 (November 2022) 58 95 61% 61% 63% 55% 36 25% 73 58% 45% 38% Round 3 (March 2023) 42% Round 4 Round 5 (June 2023) (November 2023) IDPs in host families/out of sites 37% 39% Round 6 (March 2024) 39% The growing insecurity restricting possibilities to seek refuge with relatives, the lack of resources of host families to accommodate IDPs for a relatively long period of time, and the deterioration of social cohesion, are the main reasons for this. Surveys carried out by the DTM among displaced households and host communities in the country have shown that tensions and conflicts between IDPs and host communities are more frequent in the MAPAP than in the provinces. IDPs in sites represent the category of households that most often reports the existence of tensions or conflicts with host communities. (see the report on displacement dynamics for more details).

Municipalities located towards South-East of the MAPAP constitute an important hosting area for people who fled Gressier (these are Léogâne, Grand-Goâve and Petit-Goâve).

This increase is due to the displacement of people who fled the municipality of Gressier, which has become, along with Port-au-Prince, the main place of origin for IDPs in the Great South, particularly those living in the Southeast (see Figures 34 and 35). This region is the leading host region for IDPs in the country, hosting nearly half of the country's IDPs (45%). Among the four departments in this region, the South is the leading host department for IDPs: 116,602 IDPs are located in this department, representing 37% of IDPs in the Great South and 17% of IDPs in the country. Then the South-East department with 82,366 IDPs (26% of IDPs in the Great South and 12% of the country), Grande’Anse hosting 79,722 IDPs (25% of the Great South and 11% of the country) and Nippes with 36,510 IDPs (12% of the Great South and 5% of the country).

In this municipality, gang groups agreed in July 2024 to observe a truce and several barricades separating neighborhoods were removed*. This seems to have prompted IDPs to return to their place of origin. However, it should be noted that these returns cannot be considered sustainable returns for the moment. These are circumstantial and very fragile returns. For example, despite the July 2024 truce in Cité Soleil, gang groups clashed there in September 2024, pushing more than 2,000 people to flee their homes again**. The DTM will continue to monitor return trends as well as their sustainability. *https://vantbefinfo.com/cite-soleil-des-gangs-rivaux-font-la-paix/ **ETT 47 INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATIONS ORGANISATION INTERNATIONALE POUR LES MIGRATIONS Website: https://dtm.iom.int/haiti Site web: https://dtm.iom.int/haiti Contact: dtmhaiti@iom.int Contact: dtmhaiti@iom.int La citation suivante citation est requise lors dewhen l’utilisation desdata données et informations incluses ce rapport : « Organisation Internationale The following is required using the and information included in thisdans report: “International Organization for Migrations (OIM), septembre deofla the situation de déplacement Haïti.
