Some 600 Palestinian and Syrian refugee children from war-torn Syria joined the Quds summer camp held in Antakya and Reyhanli, south of Turkey.
An AGPS reporter said art and sports workshops, along with activities aiming to commemorate the Palestinian heritage, were staged at the 10-day event.
A final ceremony was held in Antakya to wrap up the event. A number of Turkish and Syrian activists were in attendance. Certificates of appreciation were handed over to the volunteers and activists who accompanied the children all the way though the ten-day experience.
The camp comes as part of underway endeavors launched by the Islamic Relief Association for Orphans and Poor People, in partnership with Khayra Ummah Association, to assuage the calamitous situation endured by refugee children and families from Syria.
