UN Summer Camps
12 August 2010
Around a quarter of a million children participate in the Summer Games, which include sports as well as recreational and cultural activities. This is the fourth year that UNRWA has organized the programme in Gaza, whose 1.5 million Palestinian residents have been languishing under a three-year-old Israeli blockade. "Like children anywhere in the world, children here must have a sense of normality," said the UN's John Ging. "Despite the abnormality they face in their daily lives, today's achievement has lifted the spirits of the entire population here in Gaza."
