IDU: Daily Updates on Conflict and Disaster Displacements in Montenegro

Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) provides the IDU dataset, which offers provisional daily updates on new internal displacements in Montenegro caused by conflicts and disasters. The data represents initial assessments of displacement flows, sourced from various publishers and updated daily since the beginning of 2025. Finalized and validated estimates are available in the separate annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).
