Around 15 thousand people were internally displaced due to violence and conflicts in Northern Sinai, Egypt, in 2018. Four years before, in 2014, the first phase of demolitions of houses in North Sinai took place forcing nearly 4.7 thousand people to leave their homes, yet remaining within the country's borders.

Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are "persons or groups of persons who have been forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights or natural or human-made disasters, and who have not crossed an internationally recognized State border” (United Nation's Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, 1998).
