IDU: Daily Updates on Conflict and Disaster Displacements in Iraq

Daily provisional data on new internal displacements in Iraq, updated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. The IDU dataset provides initial assessments of population movements (flows) resulting from conflicts and disasters, with daily updates. Finalized estimates are later published in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database.
