On Eid al-Fitr, the Gaza Strip faced a somber reality as at least 20 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed amid ongoing violence and severe food shortages. Despite the festivities that typically accompany the holiday, many residents had little to celebrate due to the devastation caused by Israeli bombardments. Family members mourned the loss of loved ones during prayers held outside demolished mosques. Efforts for a renewed truce are underway, but humanitarian conditions remain dire as no aid has reached the region for weeks, leading to extensive civilian casualties.
"We lost our loved ones, our children, our lives, and our futures. We lost our students, our schools, and our institutions. We lost everything."
"The Muslim festival is supposed to be a joyous occasion, but most of Gaza's two million Palestinians are just trying to survive."
