Multicultural Insights is continuing its collaboration with the International Organization for Migration studying the internal displacement in Ukraine.

MI conducted the fourteenth round of the nationally representative general population survey in Ukraine.

Here are some of the findings:

📍As of 25 September 2023, IOM estimates that 3.7 million people are internally displaced within Ukraine.

📍Of the total, 52 per cent of all IDPs are concentrated in just five oblasts in Ukraine, with the largest estimated presence in Dnipropetrovska and Kharkivska Oblasts (498,000 and 494,000 estimated IDPs, respectively).

📍Almost half of the total IDP population originated from just two oblasts: Donetska (24%) and Kharkivska (22%).

📍The five oblasts hosting the largest numbers of IDPs are also the principal oblasts of return.

📍Seventy per cent of displaced households reported having been displaced for at least one year, IDPs displaced for 422 days on average.

📍As IDPs remain in displacement for longer periods of time, they may face compounded vulnerabilities borne out by the protracted nature of their displacement.
