A thousand local children gathered in southern Gaza Strip and flew kites on March 11 to commemorate the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, which struck the coast of northeastern Japan two years ago.
"People have been killed here in wars, so we can understand the pain of people in the disaster zone (of the earthquake and tsunami)," said Nour Alnamrouty, one of the children. "I want to give the Japanese people hope."
The homemade kites were printed with the Japanese and Palestinian flags, and one of them had the word "Japan" written in Arabic on it.
