A sad Ramadan for Gaza as Israel continues attacks
Al Jazeera
In the midst of Israel’s war, the people of Gaza don’t feel the joy of the holy month.
Deir el-Balah, Gaza – Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims, with people decorating their homes, buying things for special Ramadan dishes, and planning gatherings with family and friends to break their fast together.
But in Deir el-Balah, as Israeli bombing continues and the list of civilians being killed gets longer by the day, there is little to indicate that the festivities are on the doorstep.
Al Jazeera spoke to two sellers in the Deir el-Balah market as they were trying to stir up some Ramadan joy.
Atia Harb, 38, had some old Ramadan decorations laid out in his market stall and was playing festive tunes, trying his best to attract customers despite the grim conditions.
Harb was displaced with his family of 11 from Sheikh Redwan in northern Gaza.
