- REMAINING IDP CASELOAD: SITE AND POPULATION TRENDS
1.1 Overall trends of the IDP population More than four years after the devastating January 2010 earthquake, an estimated 28,134 households or 103,565 individuals still reside in 172 IDP sites. This represents a decrease of approximately 92.22% of the IDP population and a decrease of 88.94% of IDP sites compared to July 2010, during the height of the internal displacement in Haiti.
Since the last DTM release (March 2014), a 24.70% decrease in IDP individuals and a 24.23% decrease of IDP households were observed.
During the current period, some sites showed a significant increase in population. Following the responses received from families interviewed and observations carried out by IOM staff during registration exercises, this increase may not be attributed to one specific cause but to several concurring factors. These include split families and negative results from the grievance mechanism put in place for camps under closure by return projects, resulting in IDP movement into other open camps within the same area. This trend is consistent with the previous report, with an estimated 30 camps showing an increase in their population.
