Mindanao Displacement Dashboard April 2018
The Protection Cluster monitored and reported five (5) displacement incidents in April, which displaced 893 families (approximately 3,953 persons) in Mindanao. Seven more displacement incidents were reported throughout Maguindanao however the numbers have not been verified and thus, not included in this report.
Almost a year after the death and destruction brought about by the fighting between government forces and IS-inspired local terror Maute group, humanitarian assistance for IDPs – both in evacuation centres and home-based settings across Lanao provinces – is still a cause for concern. In most barangays, IDPs continue to raise the lack of food and water supply. The last food ration they received was months ago. IDPs who have not received humanitarian assistance rely on the assistance provided by their relatives. They also have no access to concrete information and just rely on the information (often unverified) passed on by neighbours.
