As Ramadan begins, many families in Gaza City are facing hardship instead of the usual season of prayer and celebration, after their homes and livelihoods were destroyed in the ongoing conflict involving Israel.
Reports indicate that numerous residents are living in temporary shelters or damaged buildings, struggling to find enough food, clean water, and basic safety. For many, even preparing meals for iftar or suhoor has become difficult, while others continue to mourn relatives lost in the violence.
Humanitarian groups warn that the crisis is worsening, especially for children and the elderly, and are calling for urgent aid and improved access to relief supplies. Despite the suffering, many families continue to observe Ramadan as best they can, holding on to hope for peace and stability in the future.
