IDU: Daily Updates on Internal Displacement Flows in Venezuela

Daily provisional data on new internal displacements in Venezuela, updated as of May 15, 2026. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) provides this event data, which offers initial assessments of population movements caused by conflict and disaster. It represents the most recent available information, with finalized estimates later published in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database.

Use Cases

• Monitor daily displacement flows based on the event-driven, provisional data mentioned in the description
• Analyze conflict and disaster triggers for displacement based on the cause categories described
• Track provisional displacement estimates over time based on the daily update schedule
• Compare initial event data with finalized annual stock figures based on the relationship with the GIDD database

Strengths

• Updated daily, providing timely provisional information on new displacements
• Sourced from the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)
• Focuses on displacement 'flows' (new movements) as defined by the 1998 Guiding Principles
• Data is available via API and under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license for open use

Limitations

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