Palestinians in the Abu Mustafa neighborhood of Khan Younis began the holy month of Ramadan with a communal suhoor meal, despite the devastation caused by over a year of war. The initiative was sponsored by Jordan and attracted a large turnout, including many children. Messages of hope and unity were drawn on the remaining walls of destroyed buildings. Residents celebrated in the face of uncertainty due to the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas expiring, with questions about a possible extension or a second phase.
In Rafah, a similar initiative sponsored by Kuwait provided 5,000 meals for iftar, where Muslims break their fast at sunset. Despite the challenges faced during the conflict, Palestinians remained hopeful for a better future. Some criticized Israel for cutting off aid to Gaza in a bid to pressure Hamas to accept a new ceasefire proposal.
Residents expressed their determination to stay in Gaza and rebuild their community, emphasizing their unity and resilience. Aya Abu Mostafa and Shahed Abu Mustafa, among others, highlighted the importance of celebrating Ramadan and finding hope and joy despite the hardships they faced. The community gatherings for suhoor and iftar provided a sense of normalcy and unity, as people came together to celebrate the sacred month and support one another in these difficult times.
