Egypt Internal Displacements: New Displacement Incidents and IDP Stock Figures

Annual data on internal displacement in Egypt, maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It provides validated estimates for two primary metrics: the number of new displacement incidents and the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs). The dataset is sourced from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement drivers based on conflict and disaster events mentioned in the description
• Analyzing long-term trends in internal displacement stock figures for Egypt
• Estimating humanitarian needs based on new displacement incident counts
• Comparing displacement patterns across different causal factors like conflict or natural disasters

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)
• Distinguishes between two key metrics: new displacement incidents and year-end IDP stock
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use with attribution

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source platform
