More than 33 million people in Sudan need urgent humanitarian aid.

Omissions

• The precise official figure is 33.7 million people (around two-thirds of the population), of whom about 60% are children; the claim's 'more than 33 million' slightly understates the exact UN figure but remains a correct lower bound.
• The claim was made on 2026-07-08; the 33.7 million figure comes from the Sudan Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2026 published in April 2026, which the MEP could have known at the time.
• The related displacement figure in the original Spanish text ('más de 13 millones de personas desplazadas') is consistent with UN figures of 9.3 million internally displaced plus 4.4 million who have fled the country (13.7 million total).
