Rival Hamas, UN summer camps compete over children (AP)

June 28th, 2010

Palestinian employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), inspect the damage at a U.N. children summer camp on the beach of Zawaida town in the central of Gaza Strip, Monday, June 28, 2010. Two dozen masked men vandalized the U.N. summer camp for children in Gaza early Monday, burning and slashing tents, toys and a plastic swimming pool, in a second such attack in a month. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Islamic extremists have accused the main U.N. aid agency here of corrupting Gaza's youth with its summer program of games, sports and human rights lessons for 250,000 children. (AP Photo/Adel Hana)AP - Masked men trashed a U.N. summer camp Monday, tying up guards and slashing tents and an inflatable pool in the second such attack blamed on suspected extremists in just over a month — a sign of how, in Gaza, youth camp is not just about crafts and volleyball.
