Muslims around the world enjoy holy month of Ramadan while people in Gaza struggle to observe it under inhumane conditions.
During Ramadan, Muslims observe fasting, where they must not eat or drink since dawn till dusk.
In Gaza, unemployment and poverty rates have sharply increased and poor people have been getting poorer year after year. Thousands of Gazan families can not afford to buy food to prepare their Ramadan dusk meal called Iftar.
Shop owners say purchase of food items during Ramadan has been dropping year after year since the beginning of the blockade. The coronavirus pandemic has further worsened the situation for nearly two million Gazans.
