Yemen Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Yemen-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD), maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It provides validated annual estimates for new displacement incidents and the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs), following the 1998 Guiding Principles. The dataset was last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict-driven migration trends based on new displacement incidents.
• Assessing long-term humanitarian needs based on the year-end stock of internally displaced persons.
• Analyzing the correlation between conflict events and displacement flows in Yemen.
• Tracking displacement trends over time for program evaluation and resource allocation.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between new displacement incidents and the total stock of IDPs, a key methodological strength.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open use with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and specific temporal coverage for Yemen are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
