As of 23 July, IOM reported that a total of 18,874 families were living in displacement either in evacuation centers (14,825), in relocation sites (3,174) or as home-based IDPs (875) all of them in Maguindanao province. Government figures are based on an average of five individuals per family, but the average family size in the poorer municipalities of Muslim Mindanao, where most IDPs are located, has been shown to be closer to six. Based on a total of 18,874 families, it is therefore estimated that the number of IDPs ranges from (18,874x5) 94,370 to (18,874x6) 113,244. |
