The 25 million hunger figure matches the June 2024 IPC estimate (25.6 million people in IPC Phase 3+), but the most recent IPC analysis (September 2025, issued November 2025) puts the number at 21.2 million (45% of the population) at the peak of the lean season — so this component appears dated by roughly 4 million people.
The death toll of 'over 150,000' is an estimate that includes deaths from starvation and disease; ACLED's directly recorded conflict fatalities are lower (about 29,000 by end-November 2024 and over 58,000 tracked by 2026), while broader estimates range from 150,000 to 400,000.
Displacement estimates vary by source and methodology: the UK House of Lords Library (November 2025) cites 'almost 13 million' people displaced, while IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix cites over 15 million; 14 million is a reasonable mid-range approximation but no single official source was found stating exactly 14 million.
Some sources found were published after the session date (e.g., IOM DTM references from 2026) or have undated publication dates; the MEP could not have known certain later figures.
No source was found that explicitly states all three figures (150,000 dead, 14 million displaced, 25 million hungry) together for the same reference period; the claim combines figures from different dates.
