No Ramadan joy, respite for families in Gaza City destroyed by Israel

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Despite a ceasefire brokered in October, many Palestinian families in northern Gaza, like Nisreen Nassar's, are spending Ramadan displaced and in dire conditions. Living in schools and makeshift shelters in Gaza City, they struggle with shortages of gas and rely on humanitarian aid. Displaced from their home in Beit Hanoon since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza in October 2023, the Nassar family, along with many others, have been displaced multiple times and are waiting to return home. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 72,000 deaths, according to Gaza's Ministry of Health, and has severely impacted the ability of families to observe Ramadan with normalcy or joy. This marks the third Ramadan that the Nassar family has spent living in a school.
