The gallery included photos taken by the students, local photographers and others from the PAPE presenting the Palestinian reality and beautiful landscape.

Dr. Sabri Naser, Vice President for Administrative Affairs commended the students’ works and said that the gallery gave children hope and reinforced their creative thinking.
