IDP Protection Assessment Report, AFP vs Pro-ISIS militants in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Issue No.07
Almost a year into the conflict, the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) reports that out of the original figure of 77,170 families (353,921 individuals) displaced by the Marawi crisis, 59,495 families remain displaced as of 06 March 2018. Out of this, 65,653 families are in home-based settings and 2,841 are in evacuation centers (ECs). There are 52 ECs still open across the Lanao provinces and Iligan City.
Conditions of IDPs both in evacuation centers and home-based settings remain a concern due to problems on desludging of latrines and general maintenance of evacuation centers, lack of access to health assistance and medicine, shortage of food relief, and lack of access to information on return exercises.
Transitory and relocation sites in Marawi City are still under construction. In Sagonsongan, 885 out of 1,052 housing units have been completed. As of 20 March, 601 units have been awarded. There are cases where the beneficiaries are embroiled in clan wars with other beneficiaries in the site. They will be transferred to another area in the Sagonsongan site to avoid conflict.
