Data collection for Round 110 took place during the months of May and June 2019.

The number of IDPs continued to decrease at a steady slow pace. During May and June, DTM recorded a decrease of -57,960 IDPs with the top three governorates being Ninewa (-22,674, representing 5% of the IDP caseload in the governorate), Salah al-Din (-11,856, -10%) and Sulaymaniyah (-7,104, -5%).
For the same period, DTM also identified 4,305,138 returnees (717,523 families) across eight governorates, 38 districts and 1,662 locations. An additional 38,256 returnees were recorded during Round 110, which is a slightly smaller increase than the previous round during which 54,900 individuals returned.
