For millions in Gaza’s Rafah, Ramadan—a holy month of prayer and community—has become a grim struggle for survival. With the Israel-Hamas conflict intensifying, displaced families face starvation, shattered social systems, and unimaginable loss. CGTN reports from the ground reveal a heartbreaking contrast between past celebrations and today’s harsh reality.
\"This Ramadan arrived with bloodshed instead of blessings,\" said Sameh Kali, a refugee sheltering in Rafah for five months. Meanwhile, Mustafa Al-Zayti reminisced about festive meals with loved ones: \"We miss laughter, food, and peace. Now, every day feels like a battle.\"
With infrastructure destroyed and aid scarce, Gaza’s displaced residents are rationing water and relying on donated meals. As global calls for ceasefires grow louder, hope remains elusive for those trapped in the crossfire. 🌍💔
