Displaced Palestinians celebrate Eid al-Fitr in Egypt’s Arish | VOA News [Video]

The governor of Egypt’s North Sinai, Mohammed Abdel Fadil Shousha, joined Eid prayers and celebrated Eid al-Fitr in Al Arish with displaced Palestinians from Gaza on April 10, 2024.

Eid al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the Ramadan fast, will begin Wednesday, according to Saudi Arabia, home to two of Islam’s holiest sites.

But across the Muslim world, Ramadan observances this year were overshadowed by the war in Gaza, where Israel’s military response to the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 has killed at least 33,000 people, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. In that attack, Hamas killed 1,200 people and took about 250 hostages that day.

As Eid begins, Gaza is on the brink of famine. Although more aid is starting to trickle into Gaza, displaced Palestinians seeking shelter say that the supplies are not enough for the increasingly dire conditions. #Palestinians #Egypt #Eid #reels #videography #voanews
