蘑菇视频RWA condemns attack on Gaza World Record facility

28 July 2011

Statement by 蘑菇视频RWA Spokesman, Chris Gunness

At ten minutes past midnight last night, ten men attacked and vandalised the Summer Games facility in north-west Gaza where later today 蘑菇视频RWA will attempt a world record for the largest number of children flying kites.

The attackers damaged a large billboard, burnt a 蘑菇视频 flag and torched part of the stage. None of the 蘑菇视频 security personnel at the venue were harmed.

We condemn this attack, which is an attack on the children of Gaza as much as on the United Nations. We call on the authorities in Gaza to investigate and bring those responsible to account. We will repair and rebuild the damaged infrastructure and go ahead with the event as planned today.

Ends
