Ramadan arrives in Gaza under shaky ceasefire deal, but the festive spirit eludes many Palestinians
Gaza residents mark Ramadan amid ongoing hardships and near-daily Israeli fire after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended major hostilities on Oct. 10, with over 72,000 killed, officials said.
- On the first day of Ramadan, Gaza residents observed the holy month amid a fragile ceasefire and almost-daily Israeli fire, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
- The Oct. 7, 2023 assault and ensuing Israeli response have left Gaza devastated, killing more than 72,000 Palestinians and displacing most residents according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
- Local helpers and merchants arranged modest Ramadan decorations, including signs and lights, amid ruins in Gaza and Khan Younis, bringing joy to children.
- Economic strain has left many without cash, and merchants in Gaza were urged to heed severe financial hardships during Ramadan, while winter conditions flooded camps and caused child deaths among displaced families.
- Amid the hardships, local residents and volunteers said efforts to decorate and host small events aim to show resilience and `we are people who seek life` to the world, but many noted the Ramadan spirit feels diminished due to loss.
