14 million people have been displaced from their homes in Sudan

Omissions

• The 14 million figure refers to cumulative total displacement since the conflict began in April 2023, not the current number of people remaining displaced. According to March 2026 data, approximately 6.8 million people were still internally displaced within Sudan, while the remainder had fled as refugees to neighboring countries (Chad, South Sudan, Egypt, Ethiopia, etc.).
• The UN News source was published on 30 April 2026, one day after the session date (29 April 2026). The MEP may have been citing preliminary or slightly earlier data available at the time of the speech.
• The claim does not distinguish between internal displacement and cross-border refugee flows, which are distinct categories in humanitarian reporting.
