Hardship, hunger, and poverty have stripped the holiday of any celebratory spirit. The devastating circumstances have overshadowed even the most cherished memories of past Eids.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\" data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1546\">Today, only around 20% of Gaza\u2019s total area remains accessible for civilians, as the Israeli army has declared most of the Strip as military zones, launching incursions and applying a scorched earth policy. As a result, the dominant scenes across Gaza are those of overcrowded tent camps and shelter centers. The remaining partially damaged homes are overwhelmed with displaced residents and their extended families.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-9\" data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"1580\">The Fourth Eid Under War<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1829\">This marks the fourth Eid Gazans are experiencing during the war\u2014two Eids al-Fitr and now a second Eid al-Adha. Each has felt more grim than the last, as conditions in the Strip continue to deteriorate in what is now the 20th month of war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\" data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"2248\">Ahlam Al-Masri, displaced from northern Gaza and now living with her family in a crowded tent area west of Gaza City, says she hasn&#8217;t celebrated Eid in her home since the war began. Her family has spent previous Eids in Rafah and Khan Younis, and now they are displaced yet again. \u201cEid days pass like any other day,\u201d she tells Al-Quds Al-Arabi. \u201cNothing has changed\u2014same clothes, same tent, same suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18311\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18311\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18311 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/555-1.jpg\" alt=\"At least 31 Palestinians killed and 200 injured as Israeli forces surround and fire on civilians seeking aid in Rafah\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/555-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/555-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/555-1-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gaza Eid al-Adha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-12\" data-start=\"2250\" data-end=\"2288\">No Celebrations, No Sacrifices<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-13\" data-start=\"2290\" data-end=\"2667\">For displaced families, the priority now is securing a single meal and safe drinking water. Ahlam, dressed in the same prayer clothes she wears daily, says neither she nor her children have new clothes for Eid. \u201cClothes stay the same, whether it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/03\/30\/israel-escalates-gaza-massacres-on-first-day-of-eid\/\">Eid<\/a> or not,\u201d she says, echoing a broader reality where families can barely afford food, let alone holiday traditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"2669\" data-end=\"2815\">She adds that like many in Gaza, she hasn\u2019t had a peaceful day since the war began. \u201cThe burdens of life have erased our past memories,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\" data-start=\"2817\" data-end=\"3047\">The usual decorations and lights that once marked the arrival of Eid are gone. Streets, homes, and shops that used to sparkle with lights and colors have been destroyed in Israeli airstrikes, leaving behind rubble and ash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-16\" data-start=\"3049\" data-end=\"3657\">One major absence this year, as in the last, is sacrificial animals. In years past, families joyfully slaughtered sheep on Eid morning, an act that brought families\u2014especially children\u2014together. This year, Mohammad Al-Astal from Khan Younis won\u2019t be able to offer his sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-16\" data-start=\"3049\" data-end=\"3657\">He recalls how just two years ago, his children played with the sheep days before Eid. Now, his neighborhood has turned into makeshift housing for displaced families, and his partially destroyed home stands in ruins. \u201cNo sacrifices this Eid,\u201d he says. \u201cNow I\u2019m just trying to find any kind of food for my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-17\" data-start=\"3659\" data-end=\"3712\">Longing for Meat, Remembering Life Before War<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\" data-start=\"3714\" data-end=\"3915\">Once, Gazans received generous portions of meat from neighbors and relatives during Eid. Now, they crave even a taste of meat, which disappeared from markets months ago due to the Israeli blockade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\" data-start=\"3917\" data-end=\"4166\">Israel has not allowed the entry of sheep or cattle into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/03\/30\/gazas-eid-under-fire-death-displacement-and-fear-replace-celebration\/\">Gaza<\/a> since the war began, and only occasionally permitted trucks carrying frozen meat. With local farms destroyed, livestock is gone, and poultry farms have ceased operations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18297\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18297 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/22.jpg\" alt=\"ameer Aliyan says he hasn\u2019t eaten red or white meat in three months, except for a small chicken portion he received from a charity during the last ceasefire. \u201cEid is just another day,\u201d he says. \u201cDestruction is everywhere, and the crisis keeps deepening.\u201d\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/22.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/22-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/22-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli army massacre in Gaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-23\">Sameer Aliyan says he hasn\u2019t eaten red or white meat in three months, except for a small chicken portion he received from a charity during the last ceasefire. \u201cEid is just another day,\u201d he says. \u201cDestruction is everywhere, and the crisis keeps deepening.\u201d He had hoped Eid would coincide with a ceasefire, amid growing talks of a truce\u2014but those efforts collapsed. \u201cWe\u2019ve forgotten what Eid even looks like,\u201d he says while gazing over the devastation west of Gaza City. \u201cNothing is the same.
