Gaza children go for world record for kite flying

Palestinian children fly kites along the beach during a U.N.-sponsored camp in Gaza City on Thursday.

Current record stands at 967 kites
But the children would be able to break the record even without a judge by verifying the accomplishment in other ways, said Guinness spokeswoman Karolina Thelin.

The current record for simultaneous kite flying stands at 967, set less than a year ago in Melle-Gronegau, Germany, Thelin said.
