An import into OpenStreetMap is something that needs to be carefully planned and executed with diligence. If there is the slightest indication that a slow import might endanger even a single human being then I *strongly* suggest that you devise an alternative way to get this data out to humanitarian organizations, and not rely on OpenStreetMap as a publishing mechanism. My guess is that initial discussion of the proposal will take two weeks at the very least, perhaps up to four. Carefully checking and conflating a node will likely take a minute even for the most experienced mapper, meaning that once you begin, you'll need about 240 person-hours (or, assuming an 8-hour working day, 30 person-days) until the import is complete. If you have this time and are willing to invest it - good, go ahead. If you can foresee that you will be forced to take shortcuts because the data is required urgently, then cut out OSM and publish the data directly for those in need of it.
