Palestine: Worshippers commemorate Eid-el Adha
Hundreds of citizens gather amidst the rubble of houses and buildings in the Jabalia refugee camp in the north of the Palestinian enclave. During the four days of the “feast of sacrifice”, Muslims test their faith by slaughtering livestock and distributing meat to the poor. However, this year Gazan families face the holy date with food shortages and deep grief due to the loss of loved ones during the ongoing Israeli siege.
