Migration patterns in the local area have seen a notable shift. Between April and June, incoming movements across borders increased by 23 per cent, a typical rise ahead of summer. However, movements along certain borders have declined due to increased security and border controls.

Migrants are now relying on longer and more remote desert routes, which come with higher financial costs and protection risks. Further details on these migration trends are available from the Displacement Tracking Matrix field observations, which provide insight into the changing mobility patterns in the region.
