The Youth Development Association conducted an awareness and recreational activity at **Abbad Al-Rahman Camp – Haneen Street in Khan Younis**, as part of its efforts to strengthen community awareness of the risks posed by explosive remnants of war and suspicious objects, while promoting preventive behaviors that contribute to protecting children and families.

The activity focused on raising awareness among children and community members about the dangers associated with explosive remnants of war and unknown or suspicious objects. Participants were advised not to touch, approach, or attempt to move such objects, to keep a safe distance, and to report them to the relevant authorities in order to help reduce accidents and injuries and strengthen community safety.

The activity used simple and interactive awareness methods designed to help children understand and retain key safety messages in an age-appropriate way, strengthening their ability to respond more safely when facing potential risks.

The activity also included a range of recreational and interactive games that created an atmosphere of joy and fun and provided children with a positive space to interact and express themselves despite the difficult circumstances and pressures they are experiencing.

The Youth Development Association emphasized the importance of combining awareness and recreational activities for children, as this approach helps deliver preventive messages in an engaging and accessible way, promotes safe behaviors, and provides supportive spaces that offer children moments of joy and hope.

This activity is part of a series of awareness and community-based initiatives implemented by the Association across the Gaza Strip, aimed at reaching children and families in displacement camps and shelters, increasing awareness of the risks around them, and contributing to a safer and more supportive environment.
