Gazan chef Nagham Skaik inaugurated the Honey Yum Yum summer camp for children, in light of the lack of government interest in children and the lack of children's activities in the besieged enclave.

Holding small knives, children carefully cut colorful fruits to decorate the cake they made with chef Nagham Skaik at the young chefs summer camp in the Gaza Strip.

Entsar Murtaja, 10, who was writing down the ingredients for a recipe in her notebook, told Al-Monitor, “I loved the idea of ​​a cooking camp, and its name — Honey Yum Yum — is very fun and attractive. I have always wanted to help my mother in the kitchen. I am very happy I joined because I did not know how to use sharp tools correctly and I learned that it is better to wear gloves while preparing food. I also learned how to make pancakes, chocolate balls, delicious pasta and cake decorated with fruits.”
