In October 2024, a total of 30,785 movements were observed across the six flow monitoring points (FMPs) in Ethiopia. This represents a 5.9% increase in daily average movements in comparison with September 2024 when an average of 938 movements per day were observed. The increase can largely be attributed to the reopening of the Metema border point and subsequent reactivation of flow monitoring activities on 20 October 2024 which had been closed since the 2nd of September 2024.
The ratio between outgoing movements (83.1% or 25,570 individuals) during October and incoming movements (16.9% or 5,215 individuals) shows an equal share of incoming and outgoing movements compared to the month of September.
