About 30 million now need humanitarian aid; $4.2 billion appeal cited
Speaker 1, identified in the transcript only by number, said about 30,000,000 people require humanitarian assistance and that an appeal for $4,200,000,000 has been issued to reach 21,000,000 people.

The speaker described the situation as a protection crisis, citing an "upsurge in the attacks of the general population at large, the health facilities, civilian infrastructure," and saying the crisis has worsened compared with the previous year.

"We have about 30,000,000 people who require humanitarian assistance. This is actually something like 5 more million people compared to the previous year," Speaker 1 said. The speaker added that the affected population includes internally displaced persons and that "it's actually largely women, About 70% of them, especially women and girls." The transcript attributed an appeal amount of $4,200,000,000 to address needs for 21,000,000 people and noted a per-person funding equivalent of roughly 50 cents per person per day.

Remarks in the transcript did not specify which countries or regions were included, which agencies issued the appeal, or the timeline and donor commitments for the $4.2 billion request. The speaker framed the situation as both a humanitarian and protection emergency because of attacks on civilians, health facilities and civilian infrastructure.
