Gaza children break another world record

Over 5,000 children smashed the Guinness World Record for the largest-ever handprint painting on Thursday in a stadium in Khan Younis in southern Gaza during summer games organized by UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

Children in Gaza are hoping to break four world records this summer. They have already broken the records for the largest number of people dribbling footballs and set the record for the highest number flying parachutes from the ground.

Later in July, over 12,000 children will try to beat the world record for kite flying, UNRWA said.
