Moatinoon
According to the International Organization for Migration, 130 families left Tuti Island in Khartoum state on July 19th due to security concerns. The displaced families mainly sought refuge in areas within Karari locality in Omdurman, which still experiences tensions due to repeated artillery shelling in some of its localities.
In its bi-monthly report, the organization tracked displacement patterns, movement intentions, and the humanitarian needs of the displaced in Sudan through the Displacement Tracking Matrix. The organization relies on a network of 470 data collectors and 6,381 key informants to gather data from 8,620 locations across all 18 states of Sudan.
