US EditionGaza Marks Start of Eid Amid Dwindling Food Supplies with Outdoor Prayers
- On the morning of June 6, 2025, Palestinians across Gaza gathered to perform Eid al-Adha prayers amid extensive destruction of homes, schools, and mosques.
- This observance came during Israel's ongoing military campaign since October 2023 that caused heavy casualties and left no ceasefire in sight.
- Worshippers held prayers in damaged or makeshift locations such as the heavily bombed Al-Kanz Mosque and a prayer room in Abu Amin neighborhood.
- Staple food prices in Gaza skyrocketed, with items like cooking oil costing 170 shekels and Parle-G biscuits selling for more than 24 euros, making food mostly unaffordable.
- The event reflected resilience but also deep grief, as many Palestinians mourned lost loved ones and faced an Eid stripped of traditional feasts and rituals amid ongoing conflict.
