Internal displacement in 2024: Monitoring the crisis, measuring progress [1]
['Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre', 'Idmc']
Date: 2025-06
As 2024 draws to a close, one thing is clear: it has been another extremely challenging year for millions of internally displaced people (IDPs), and solutions to displacement are as challenging as ever. Conflicts in Sudan, Palestine, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, coupled with catastrophic floods in South Asia and the Horn of Africa, have forced countless families from their homes. Many fled more than once, some time and again with little rest between.
The growing trend of internal displacement underlines the relevance and urgency of our mission: to provide strong data and analysis that inform policies and actions to address this crisis.
This year, our work revealed alarming trends but also offered a foundation for progress. Here are seven key insights from 2024.
