Eid al-Adha prayer in the ruins of Gaza/faith and resistance at the height of the war  

report Mehr News, according to al-Arabi al-Jadeed, this morning thousands of Palestinian worshipers performed the Eid al-Adha prayer near the destroyed mosques and in the area of ​​the displaced persons’ camps in the Gaza Strip. In the shadow of the siege and the brutal war that the Zionist occupation regime has launched against the people of Gaza, these people cannot celebrate Eid al-Adha or perform sacrifices.

Human rights activists started distributing gifts to Gazan children in some mosques today to make them happy. Haj Ahmed Hassan, one of the displaced citizens of Gaza who participated in the Eid al-Adha prayer, told al-Arabi al-Jadeed: A large number of our people were martyred and our houses were destroyed, and after Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha is the second holiday that has occurred in the midst of the devastating war in Gaza. arrives; But we continue our resistance in all circumstances and are satisfied with God’s destiny and we wait for his help.

Ali Osama, one of the other worshipers, also says: Last year, we performed a sacrifice ceremony with our brothers and friends on this day, but today we can hardly get a loaf of bread. He added: The occupying regime committed the most brutal crimes against us and the international community has disappointed us. However, despite all this, our faith in our cause and right has never been shaken, and in this way, we will pay any necessary price with full satisfaction, and we thank God in any case.

Salem Abdulaziz, one of the other citizens of Gaza, also said: Eid is like any other day for us; Because we are still displaced and oppressed. But with all this, we thank God. The world has disappointed us, but we are sure that God will not disappoint us, and therefore we are satisfied with his destiny.

The people of Gaza welcome Eid Al-Adha with the same sad mood as they had on Eid al-Fitr, and even the amount of their pain and suffering has increased. On Eid al-Fitr, the people of Gaza were waiting for international pressure to stop the barbaric crimes of the Zionist regime against Gaza and for a ceasefire to be established. But this little hope is not seen among the people of Gaza today on Eid al-Adha. But they still keep their faith.

Maryam Hamdan, a 40-year-old Palestinian woman who was displaced from the north-east of the Gaza Strip, said: “During the repeated displacements that we had in the past months, the clothes that we could hardly wear during Eid The al-Fitr we had prepared for our children was destroyed. My little one, Nadine, had a red dress that she has been very sad to lose since. This year, the children of Gaza, like Nadine, cannot wear Eid clothes, and the Eid holiday has no meaning for them.

Criticizing the silence of the international community against the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against Gaza, as well as the lax positions of the Arab regimes against these crimes, he emphasized: “Since I was a child My grandmother always said that a Muslim can be happy only when his Muslim brother is also happy; But what we are seeing now is the opposite, and the Arab and Islamic countries are not doing anything to save the Palestinian people.

In this statement, it is stated: The sacrifice ceremony on Eid al-Adha is an inseparable part of Muslim customs and culture, and preventing it from being held is disregard and insult to Islamic principles and It is considered humanitarian values. This situation requires the serious intervention of the international community to stop the genocidal war against Gaza and end the clear violation of Muslim rights.

Government Information Office in the Gaza Strip held the Zionist regime and the American government fully responsible for the continuation of these crimes against the Palestinian nation and Islamic holy places and emphasized: the international community, The United Nations, various international organizations and all the free countries of the world must put pressure on the occupying regime and the American government to stop the genocidal war against Gaza, open the land crossings and break the complete blockade of Gaza.
