As Eid al-Fitr approaches, Palestinians in Gaza City face significant hardships, with many expressing little to celebrate due to ongoing conflict and food scarcity. Families report relying on canned food as the end of Ramadan nears, highlighting the financial distress that overshadows traditional celebrations. Despite the bleak situation, efforts continue to maintain cultural practices, with Palestinian women preparing traditional Eid dishes in refugee camps. The conflict, which has escalated this year, casts a long shadow over festivities, as the emotional and physical toll of war affects the ability to observe this significant Islamic holiday. Reports indicate that the occupying forces are pursuing systematic starvation against the Palestinian population, exacerbating the challenges faced during this holy month. Gazans strive to hold onto their traditions while navigating a reality defined by ruins and unrest.
