SCRIPT

The UN decided to chip in for the wedding of a young Palestinian couple, at a UN school Wednesday. The school was decked out with multi-coloured balloons and dancers as celebrations went on late into the night.

The married couple are Omar Abu Namar, 30, and his bride Heba Fayad, 23. They tied the knot near Al-Shatea refugee camp in the west of Gaza City, where they are staying.

Heba's family home was destroyed along with the items they bought for married life, including dresses, accessories and flowers. But UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, was keen to give the couple some help and contributed to the wedding and two nights in a hotel for the newlyweds.
