People in Need and Population

People in need from OCHA's Humanitarian Needs Overview as HDX HAPI publishes it, by sector (food security, health, protection, WASH, education and the rest) and by population group, each with its year; the plan total read by one rule (a country's largest own-plan figure, regional plans left out); and population from the World Bank with the shares of women and children, beside UNHCR's counts of internally displaced people, refugees from the country and refugees it hosts. Sector figures overlap, so they do not add up to the total; UNHCR's counts leave out Palestine refugees under UNRWA's mandate.
