Spain: 78,720 disaster-driven internal displacements between 2026-07-01 and 2026-07-31 (IDMC IDU)

Disaster-driven internal displacements per month (people)

According to IDMC's Internal Displacement Updates, between 1 and 31 July 2026 Spain recorded 78,720 disaster-driven internal displacements across 26 events, with each event counted once. The alert fired because this monthly figure exceeded the fixed threshold of 50,000; the country's own monthly record was not used for comparison because only 2 months of history were available, fewer than the 6 required. The largest figures come from wildfires reported by the Ministry of Interior in the Community of Madrid (31,000) and Castile and León (25,000), and from a wildfire in La Vall d'Uixó in the Valencian Community (16,000) reported by provincial authorities, all with a displacement date of 27 July 2026.
