Gaza kids eye kite-flying world record

 
 

Thousands of Palestinian children have gathered in the Gaza Strip in an attempt to break the world record on the number of kites flown at the same time, in the same place.

Thursday’s event was part of a UN initiative organised to restore hope and normality to the war-torn territory.
