Watch: Palestinians spend Ramadan Iftar gathered in the ruins of Gaza
Among the ruins of destroyed buildings in Gaza’s Rafah, nearly 5,000 Palestinians gathered on the first day of Ramadan to break their fast together on Saturday.
"Today we draw joy on people's faces here in this destruction and under this rubble and debris," said Walid Abdel Wahab, one of the organizers of the group Iftar event.
Seated at long tables set up among the rubble, families awaited the call to prayer before eating their Iftar meals, provided by volunteers determined to bring a sense of normalcy to the holy month.
