French Southern Territories - Internal Displacements Updates (IDU)

Daily-updated provisional data on new internal displacements (flows) in the French Southern Territories, sourced from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The dataset provides initial assessments of displacements reported since the beginning of 2025, with finalized estimates available in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD). Data is aggregated from various publishers and updated daily.
