YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ramadan is supposed to be a spiritual and joyous month, but for most Palestinians in Gaza, it doesn’t feel like Ramadan at all. People are searching for water, overpaying for canned food and praying next to destroyed mosques, as video journalist Bisan Owda shows us.

Many people in Gaza were already only eating one meal a day. Now, one mother is burning schoolbooks to cook basic food for iftar, the meal that breaks the fast. Sometimes the markets have fresh food, but the prices are so high most people can’t afford it.

Families are missing their loved ones during a time usually meant for gathering. Some have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, while others have been taken captive by Israeli soldiers. And people in Rafah, near the Egyptian border, are breaking their fasts under the constant buzzing of Israeli drones above their heads.
