On September 20, drone strikes targeted two warehouses in Shikan locality, North Kordofan, resulting in the destruction of over 330,000 school textbooks and other educational supplies. The Protection Cluster has issued an advocacy note to donors and partners, highlighting the deepening protection crisis and funding priorities for 2026.

The destruction of educational materials exacerbates an already dire humanitarian situation, impacting children's access to learning. Funding for humanitarian operations remains well below requirements, hindering effective response efforts.

The loss of learning materials will directly affect children's education, particularly those awaiting distribution of these resources. The country faces a severe protection crisis, with significant numbers of internally displaced persons.

The specific impact of the drone strikes on civilian casualties or further displacement is not detailed in the provided reports.
