Gaza war robs Muslim world of Ramadan joy

GAZA – For Muslims worldwide, Ramadan is a time of prayer, reflection and joyful evening meals, but all Gazans wish for this year is an end to five months of war and suffering.

The colourful fanous lanterns are an iconic symbol of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar marked by dawn-to-dusk fasting and, in better times, festive evening iftar meals with family and friends. Ms Siksek and her family, instead of tucking into lamb and sweets at the home they had to flee in northern Gaza, will break their fast in the bare-bones tent they share with other displaced civilians.“We do not have any food to prepare,” Ms Siksek said as her husband, Mr Mohammed Yasser Rayhan, nodded in agreement.

“Every time I pray, I always send a prayer for our brothers and sisters in the Palestinian territory,” said Indonesian housewife Nurunnisa, 61, in Aceh province in the west of the country with the world’s largest Muslim population. Retired teacher Maryam Awada, now living in a school-turned-shelter in the city of Tyre in Lebanon, said she would be unable to fast this Ramadan because of the stress.In Yemen, Iran-backed Houthi rebels began firing missiles at vessels linked to Israel in November.
