Ramadan in Gaza one year on

For some Muslim communities fasting during Ramadan, they find themselves in challenging situations.

A year ago for those living in Gaza, the month of Ramadan was a time of conflict. The conflict lasted for 50 days between July and August, and ended in a truce. According to a UN report, on the Palestinian side 2,251 people of whom 1,462 were civilians, were killed. On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers were killed along with six civilians.
