The festive atmosphere for Eid al-Fitr is absent in Gaza, where thousands of displaced Palestinians are suffering from hunger, poverty, and other hardship amid the war and Israel's block of aid supplies. According to the Islamic calendar, Muslims worldwide are expected to celebrate the first day of Eid al-Fitr on Sunday or Monday, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon. But in Gaza City, the usual joy of Eid al-Fitr has been replaced by sorrow and hardship and in displacement camps, families are living in tattered tents surrounded by waste. Ibtisam Subh, a displaced Palestinian, said the surging prices caused by Israel's aid blockade have made celebrating Eid an unattainable luxury. Amna Subh, an elderly that was forced to flee once again after her home was destroyed, said she now lives in dire conditions with her orphaned grandchildren and grief and hunger dominate their lives. Amid the suffering, a group of Palestinian artists launched an initiative to paint murals to showcase joy and hope and to bring happiness to children in Gaza City. The World Food Programme has warned that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are once again at risk of acute hunger and malnutrition and food supplies have run out as Israel continues to block the entry of aid into the territory. Israel's aid blockade on all crossings since March 2 has been driving soaring prices, critically low medical supplies, and fuel shortages across Gaza, according to earlier report by UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Eid al-Fitr, also known as the Festival of Breaking the Fast, is an important Islamic holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. Shotlist: Gaza City, Gaza Strip - Recent: 1.
