And while some demand rights of Palestinians in Lebanon, others are ensuring that Gazan kids won't enjoy summer camp this year.

Gaza, May 23, 2010 (Pal Telegraph) - About forty unknown armed people attacked Sunday one of the largest camps set up by the UNRWA on the shores of Gaza Strip, local sources reported.

Adnan Abu Hasna, the spokesman for UNRWA, said that the attack on the camp took place in Sheikh Al-Ajlan area in eastern Gaza, media sources reported.

"The destroyed camp was among camps that organize 'summer games' for Palestinian school children," he added.

He noted that the UNRWA camps also offer educational programs and physical education activities.

Other Arab news sites stated that the camp guards were given 4 bullets with a message expressing dissatisfaction with the camps, and death threats to those who would work there this summer. One website in Hebrew noted disappointment with the low standards of morality taught at the camp.
