NGO One Laptop Per Child reaches Gaza Strip children, UN distributing 2000 laptops at Rafah

The UN in the Gaza Strip has begun distributing thousands of laptop computers to children in its schools.

The rugged laptops are made by the non-profit organisation One Laptop Per Child, which aims to give a computer to every child in the developing world.

Humanitarian conditions have deteriorated in the Gaza Strip in the last three years, the UN says.

Unrwa, the UN agency for refugees, began distributing 2,100 laptops on Thursday in Rafah, a town in the south of the strip.
