34 million people in Sudan need immediate assistance

Omissions

• The 34 million figure represents total people needing humanitarian assistance, not specifically 'immediate assistance' as a distinct category. Some sources use slightly different terminology ('humanitarian aid' vs 'immediate assistance').
• The figure was updated around the 3-year anniversary of the conflict in April 2026, representing an increase from the 30.4 million cited in the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan.
