Additional casualties were also reported\nfollowing clashes in Nyala, South Darfur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFighting in North Kordofan, South Kordofan, Blue Nile, and North\nDarfur continues to cause people to flee,\u201d said OCHA. Humanitarian\npartners reported several thousand new displaced persons over the past\nweek.<\/p>\n<p>UNICEF stated that two warehouses in the Shikan region, North\nKordlar, were hit by drone attacks on Sunday (20\/9), destroying\neducational materials intended for distribution at the start of the\nschool year.<\/p>\n<p>UNICEF also noted that its partners reported a series of drone\nattacks in El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan, between Sunday and\nMonday (21\/9).<\/p>\n<p>OCHA stated that food insecurity continues to worsen. In the Tawila\narea of North Darfur, bread was reported to be unavailable in local\nmarkets for four consecutive days.
