ALEPPO, Syria — The administration of al-Bel camp, which accommodates those displaced from Syria's eastern Ghouta, organized a full day of activities for about 500 children in cooperation with Space of Hope on April 29.
The director of the nonprofit Space of Hope in Aleppo’s countryside, Mohammad Omar, told Al-Monitor the day's activities were centered around children. "Presents were distributed to the children in an attempt to compensate for the distress they have suffered during the siege in eastern Ghouta over the years," he said. "We are planning to organize more activities in the camp to help the children get rid of the negative psychological effects of the war in eastern Ghouta."
