IDU: Daily Internal Displacement Flows in Mozambique

The Internal Displacement Updates (IDU) dataset from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre provides provisional, daily-updated data on new internal displacements in Mozambique caused by conflict and disasters. It offers initial assessments of displacement flows, representing the most recent available information from various sources. The finalized and validated estimates are later published in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).
