Gaza Children seek Guinness Record in Kite Flying...

GAZA, July 30 (Xinhua) — Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip on Thursday tried to break the world record by flying self-made kites simultaneously.

Zuhir Haneya, an official who oversaw the event, said up to 6,000 children participated and that more than half of them succeeded in flying their kites.

“Seventeen kids from every 20 children succeeded in flying their kites at the same time,” he said.

The current record of kite flown simultaneously is 713, registered last year in Germany.

“This means we have broken the record,” Haneya said.





The children, who participate in annual summer camps sponsored by the UN Relief Works Agency (UNRWA), hope to break up the Israeli blockade on their territory.

John Ging, director of UNRWA operations, said “We have to break the harsh siege by making the world record in flying the kites.” He added that the UNRWA will stage more activities among Gaza children against the blockade.







Israel imposed a near-total closure on Gaza when the Islamic Hamas movement seized power there in June 2007.

No official or judge from the Guinness Book of World Records was sent to Gaza to oversee the “most kites flown simultaneously” attempt due to travel restrictions into Gaza, said a well-informed source.

The colorful kites flew with slogans calling for the lift of the blockade.

Shadi Abu Kmail, 13, who wrote “I want to live” on his kite, said, “I have come here to let the world hear us and work to lift the siege.”

After changing his name from Har Parkash to Guinness Rishi, in order to show his commitment to setting Guinness records, this Indian daredevil wants to cover his body with 220 flag tattoos.





67-year-old Guinness Rishi constantly tries to make his family and the entire Indian people by constantly setting new records. He previously became father of the world’s oldest adoptee, after taking custody of his 61-year-old brother-in-law, and built the tallest sugar-cube tower in the world, which stood at 64 inches.





Now, Guinness Rishi wants to become a human flag pole, by tattooing 220 national flags on his body. He has started his effort at the top of his head, continued with his face, got a map of the world on his stomach, and plans to get his privates tattooed as well. He just hasn’t decided what he’s going to put down there. Rishi’s efforts began in 2009 and he plans to fulfill his dream in three years time, but by the looks of things, he just might finish ahead of schedule.
