According to IDMC's Internal Displacement Updates, deduplicated to one figure per event, 63,455 conflict-driven internal displacements were recorded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo between 1 and 31 October 2026, across 4 events. The largest single figure was 31,000 displacements in North Kivu on 19 October, reported by OCHA, and further events were recorded in South Kivu and Ituri. The alert was triggered because the monthly figure exceeded the absolute threshold of 50,000 displacements in a calendar month. The figure is below the 90th percentile of the country's own monthly record over the previous 21 months, which stands at 959,998.
