Gaza people’s narration of fasting without Suhoor and Iftar/Iman; The only weapon of the Palestinians in the war of hunger

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, the continuous brutal aggression by the army of the occupying regime since 6 months ago So far, he has done against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, turning this region into a region of death and hunger and a place where no sign of life can be found. A place where there is no electricity for lighting, no means of transportation, no water or food to eat.

The people of Gaza have been fasting for months

The people of Gaza who have been displaced from their homes as a result of this brutal war and have been able to survive and survive the heinous crimes of the enemy, amidst the heavy crowding in They live in tents and are deprived of access to the most basic needs. This year, these people are going to welcome the month of Ramadan, when it can be said that they have been fasting for months; Because in the Gaza Strip, especially in the north of this area, which has been completely deprived of all aid for a long time, there is hardly anything to eat. They find little food in the morning and have no hope of breaking the fast, and they constantly have to hear the terrible sound of bombardment and do not know if they will survive the night or join the other martyrs. Now, the call to prayer is no longer heard in many areas of Gaza, especially in the north, and people determine the time of breaking the fast with the sunset.

On Monday, which coincides with the first day of Ramadan in Gaza, 3 children died Severe hunger and thirst in Kamal Adwan Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip led to the death of 21 children who died of starvation after reaching the hospital. Of course, the number of people who died due to hunger and thirst in the north of Gaza is several times this number, and many did not reach the hospital.

Ramadan celebration in Gaza With empty stomachs

Nevertheless, the people of Gaza tried to accept the month of Ramadan with respect, as in previous years, and by decorating their tents with tree leaves and the tools they had in hand, They celebrated the holy month of Ramadan so that their hungry children could feel some of the joy of this month.

In many areas of Gaza, despite the destruction of mosques, people started to perform congregational prayers around these ruins, and while They are hungry and perform their prayers.

Mohammed al-Khizri, a 39-year-old Palestinian citizen in Gaza, says that on the first day of Ramadan, he was able to buy some cheese for his iftar. and found bread and I was very happy that I had something to eat, but it is the first time that we cannot hear the Maghrib call to prayer in the month of Ramadan, and this is very sad. He said that I felt like I was in the middle of a scary nightmare; Because none of the residents of Gaza could imagine the Ramadan fast without the call to prayer or without Suhoor and Iftar meals. We have been hungry for several months but we are fasting because we have true faith and adhere to our religion and beliefs. Today I managed to find something for Iftar but I don’t know if I will break tomorrow or not. We want the whole world to see how we keep our faith and stick to our religion and beliefs despite all these pains and sufferings.

Global Community And the Islamic world once again disappointed the Palestinian people

This Palestinian citizen continued: I was walking in the market looking for a can of jam stored or anything that reminded me of the tables. I was looking for the month of Ramadan, but I did not find anything, and what saddens me is that we had high hopes for the international community and the Islamic world so that they could stop the war before the month of Ramadan, but they disappointed us once again.

But maybe Mohammad Al-Khaziri was one of the lucky citizens of Gaza who was able to find some bread and cheese for iftar; Because many people in Gaza could not find anything to eat after a long day of fasting, and many broke their fast with pieces of dry bread and water. “Ishaq Abuzar” is one of these citizens who spent two days on the street. He was looking for food for his children, but in the end he did not find anything, and he returned to his children in shame, and they could not break the fast.

Yesterday, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced: More than 2,000 health personnel in northern Gaza. On the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, they did not find anything to break the fast and they are working in unimaginable conditions. The Ministry of Health of Gaza, expressing concern about the famine and dehydration throughout Gaza, announced: the famine in the north of this area is at the border of death. it is arrived. Currently, 120,000 families in the north of the Gaza Strip are suffering from real famine, and 80% of the houses in Gaza and its north are uninhabitable.

Relevant sources also warned about the critical conditions of children in Gaza and announced that the Gaza Strip is witnessing There is a severe lack of food for children, and in this situation where mothers do not have the strength to breastfeed their babies due to malnutrition, powdered milk is also extremely scarce, and this crisis is not only related to the north, but the whole of Gaza is suffering from this disaster.
