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

MI conducted the fifteenth round of a rapid representative assessment of the general population in Ukraine.

Here are some of the findings:

📍 IOM estimates that 3,689,000 de facto IDPs and 4,455,000 returnees reside in Ukraine.

📍 The main IDP-hosting oblasts are Dnipropetrovska (13%) and Kharkivska (12%) Oblasts.

📍 The main oblast of origin for IDPs is Kharkivska Oblast (22%), where the largest flow of intra-oblast displacement was also identified (86%). 

📍 Thirty-nine per cent (39%) of IDPs have been displaced more than once.

📍 Secondary displacement was primarily triggered by limited employment opportunities in the previous place of displacement, alongside relatively safer conditions in the current place of displacement.

📍 Over 80 per cent of IDPs have been in displacement for more than one year, with the average length in displacement at 510 days.

📍 The most acute needs of IDPs are cash and financial support (56%), power banks (7%), and solid fuel for heating (6%)
