Ramadan in Gaza begins with hunger worsening
|
| They weren’t starving last October 6th. |
 [AFRICANEWS] Palestinians began fasting for Ramadan on Monday as the Muslim holy month arrived with cease-fire talks at a standstill, hunger worsening across the Gaza Strip and no end in sight to the five-month-old Israel's war on Gaza.
"This month of Ramadan is different from all previous Ramadans," said Ramallah resident Bilal abed Rabbo.
There was little to celebrate after five months of war that has killed over 30,000 Palestinians and left much of Gaza in ruins.
Families would ordinarily break the daily fast with holiday feasts, but even where food is available, there is little beyond canned goods, and the prices are too high for many.
In the weekly cabinet meeting, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said: "The month of Ramadan comes this year, while our people in the Gaza Strip are starving and bleeding due to the genocide crimes that continue unabated. We look forward to the intervention of the International Court of Justice to stop these horrific crimes, and we ask god to make the days of the holy month days in which these crimes stop and the blood flow stops bleeding, and to be suitable for saving the hungry and sick from the danger that kills them."
Some Palestinians believe that there will be an escalation against the Israelis during the month of Ramadan.
"I believe that martyrdom operations will increase and resistance will increase, especially with regard to the issue of Al-Aqsa and preventing worshipers, especially young people, from entering and reaching Al-Aqsa Mosque for the sake of prayer," said Ramallah resident Jamal al- Siuri.
