IDU: Daily Updates on Conflict and Disaster Displacements in Nigeria

Daily updated provisional data on new internal displacements (flows) in Nigeria caused by conflict and disasters, provided by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The dataset offers initial assessments of events reported since the beginning of 2025, with finalized estimates available in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD). Data is aggregated from various publishers and sources, reflecting the most recent available information.

Use Cases
