Between 13–14 June 2025, armed herders attacked Yelewata in Guma local government area, Benue state, killing over 200 people and triggering the widespread displacement of over 6,500 individuals, including 3,000 relocated to the newly established Ultra Modern Market IDP Camp in Makurdi. The incident is part of a broader trend of violence in the region and has heightened insecurity in surrounding communities, prompting secondary displacement. The destruction of homes, food stores, and market infrastructure has severely affected people’s livelihoods. Priority needs include emergency shelter, food assistance, healthcare, clean water, and adequate sanitation. Psychosocial support is also critical, particularly for the 408 displaced children. Violence in Benue and neighbouring Plateau state, where over 100 people have been killed since April, continues to undermine stability. The growing displaced population is straining host communities and humanitarian response capacity. (UNICEF 17/06/2025, HumAngle 17/06/2025, AP 14/06/2025)

In June 2025, the number of IDPs in Haiti increased by 24% to 1,287,000 from 1,041,000 in December 2024. This increase is primarily a result of the expansion of armed violence into Centre department and the escalation of armed attacks in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince and the municipality of Petite Rivière (Artibonite department) since the start of 2025. Around 55% of the displaced people are women, including minors, while 53% are children. Most of them live outside IDP sites, putting pressure on the already limited resources of the host communities. IDPs experience widespread food insecurity and poor living conditions in makeshift shelters or overcrowded temporary sites. They also face protection risks, including gender-based violence, sexual assault, and forced armed group recruitment, especially of children. Their most urgent needs include food, livelihoods, health, WASH, and shelter. (IOM 10/06/2025, OCHA 30/05/2025, OHCHR 13/06/2025)

Since June 2025, heavy monsoon rains and river overflows have caused widespread flooding in northern and western Myanmar, with Kachin state being the worst affected, followed by Rakhine state. In Kachin, floodwaters inundating mountainous villages and refugee camps have temporarily displaced over 23,000 people. In Rakhine state, the floods have affected around 7,500 people. By 11 June, at least five people had died as a result in Kachin. Additional flood impacts have been reported in Sagaing and Magway regions, where agricultural lands have sustained considerable damage. The rains have arrived unusually early this year, weeks before the typical peak in late June or July, resulting in premature flooding during a critical harvest season and leading to severe agricultural losses. The floods are worsening needs across conflict-affected and earthquake-hit areas where many shelters are unable to withstand heavy rain, increasing the risk of collapse, disease outbreaks, and water contamination.
