A Palestinian child flies a kite on the beach of the northern Gaza Strip during a summer camp organized by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). More than 1,200 children participated in the event to break a world record for kite flying. An international observer confirmed that the Palestinian children broke a world record in flying the largest number of kites. This comes after they broke three world records in the past several weeks -- the highest number flying parachutes from the ground, the largest number of people dribbling footballs and creating the largest ever hand painting.
