Story details

The agency’s 22 September statement said the losses included more than 292,000 school textbooks, 40,000 Arabic-language and mathematics review books, and other materials. Distribution had been planned from October 2026, at the start of the new school year.

UNICEF said the supplies were intended in part for schools in West Bara, Bara and Um Dam and expected the loss to affect thousands of children’s learning. The statement did not attribute responsibility for the strikes; the figures and distribution plan are UNICEF’s account.
