6,800 from Dharkenley
5,800 from Boondheere
5,000 from Wardhiigley
3,100 from Hawl Wadaag

It should be noted that the figures above likely include some IDPs who have been displaced more than once. Major IDP settlements in Kaaraan and Kax Shiqaal (Dharkenley) district have been the scene of intense fighting and it is likely that IDPs recently displaced TO these locations have now been displaced FROM these locations. This implies that the figures for Kaaraan, Dharkenley districts may be too high. (23 Jun)

The above figures indicate that there has been an increase in displacements from Shibis, Boondheere and Cabdulcasiis districts since 3 July 2009 (10 Jul)
