How War Changed Eid in Lebanon

For many families in Lebanon, Eid celebrations have been profoundly impacted by nearly three years of war and displacement. The ongoing conflict has transformed the festive atmosphere typically associated with Eid into a period of hardship and loss for numerous households. This shift means that what was once a time of joy and gathering now evokes feelings of sadness and struggle due to the pervasive effects of the war. The displacement caused by the conflict further exacerbates these challenges, disrupting traditions and family unity during the holiday. Consequently, the essence of Eid as a celebration has been diminished for a significant portion of the Lebanese population.
