No feasts, no joy: Gazans mark a dark Eid
Eid al-Adha celebrations in Gaza are marked by hardship and scarcity, as many families struggle to afford traditional items. The ongoing effects of war and high prices have overshadowed what is typically a joyful occasion. Despite a ceasefire, the situation remains dire, with many unable to provide basic needs for their children.
- ▪Many Gazans cannot afford to buy new clothes or sacrificial sheep for Eid al-Adha.
- ▪The price of sheep has skyrocketed due to limited supply and rising costs, with some priced between 11,000 and 15,000 shekels.
- ▪Eighty percent of buildings in Gaza were damaged in the war, and most of the population relies on aid for basic needs.
