Nepal Internal Displacements Updates: Daily Conflict and Disaster Flows

Daily-updated provisional data on new internal displacements in Nepal caused by conflict and disasters, provided by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. The IDU dataset offers initial assessments of displacement flows, with validated estimates later published in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database. Data is sourced from various publishers and updated daily, focusing on events reported since the beginning of 2025.

Use Cases

• Track daily displacement flows based on provisional event data mentioned in the description
• Analyze conflict-induced displacement patterns based on the dataset's focus on conflict and disaster causes
• Model disaster displacement triggers based on the natural and human-made disaster categorization
• Compare provisional daily data with validated annual estimates based on the relationship between the IDU and GIDD databases

Strengths

• Updated daily, providing near-real-time insights
• Covers both conflict and disaster displacement causes
• Sourced from the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre
• Available under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO open license

Limitations

• Data is provisional and requires preprocessing to avoid double-counting
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
