Want to know how many internally displaced people there are at a national or subnational level, their cause of displacement and their areas of origin? I have been very proud to lead the DTM team's work over the past months in launching V3 of their API. There's more to come dtm-apim-portal.iom.int

Uncontrolled fire in dense displacement setting such as camps are a large but sadly under researched area.
