Gaza hosts first-ever marathon

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2011/05/201155232718678281.html


The event was organised by UNRWA as a fundraiser to fund its summer camps for Gazan children.


Around 1,500 people, including hundreds of school children, have taken part in the Gaza Strip's first-ever marathon.

Organised by UNRWA, the event has raised more than $1 million in sponsorship, which will go towards its Summer Games programme for Gazan children, the agency's spokesman Chris Gunness said.
