The Aqsa Child festival is an annual event organized by the Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage and al-Bayarek Foundation.

The festival, according to its organizers, is intended to strengthen the Palestinian children’s bond with the Aqsa Mosque and to send a strong message to the Israeli occupation that its measures and violations will never succeed in detaching the Palestinians from their Mosque.(T/P008/R03)
