by Emad Drimly, Saud Abu Ramadan GAZA, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Gazan boys and girls laughed and laughed as they gathered at al-Qattan Cultural Center for Children, watching acrobatic performance by a British troupe. They has not seen such an entertainment since the Israeli military offensive 22 months ago. The small troupe, consisting of only three women and two men, arrived in the Gaza Strip on Oct. 21 with campaigners of the " Lifeline 5" aid convoy through the Rafah crossing between the strip and Egypt. They attracted a houseful of excited children and parents, for whom, the common entertainment was an unique experience. Eight-year-old Ahmed was amazed by the show which he described as beautiful and enjoyable, saying he had only seen such performances on TV, but now he is watching it live and real. He said with a big smile on his face that the show made him forget about the scenes of destruction, the wars and the sounds of explosions. One of the mothers said the performance "had brought smile and happiness to our kids." She added such kind of entertainment will help to ease the pain of the Gazan children who have gone through wars and destruction. A father, after seeing the performance, thanked the British troupe, saying the performers "came from very faraway country not only to delight the children of Palestine, but also to delight the Palestinian people and getting them out of the bad mood they had passed through due to the Israeli measures and the unfair siege imposed on Gaza." Reith, member of the acrobatic troupe, said "we are an independent group not linked to any non-governmental organization. We agreed to go to the Gaza Strip together in a bid to draw smiles on the faces of children living in conflicts regions." She said the troupe had stopped by Israel from entering the Gaza Strip for several times. "But we insisted to go to the Gaza Strip by our owns and on our personal expense by the help of some official figures to proof to the world that the Gaza Strip is a safe area and the children of the Gaza Strip are deprived of happiness and joy a long time ago due to the siege and war." Jack, another troupe member, said they will perform in the Gaza Strip until Thursday.
