Israel Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Israel, tracking both the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. The data is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and follows the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. It provides validated figures for understanding long-term displacement trends resulting from conflict, violence, and disasters.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends over time based on annual stock and flow figures.
• Analyzing the correlation between conflict events and new displacement incidents.
• Assessing the scale of humanitarian need based on the year-end population of internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: stock of IDPs and flow of new displacement incidents.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
