Ramadan Decorations Brighten Gaza Streets
In the Abu Sufyan neighborhood of Khan Younis, children navigate broken walls and string wires between tents and crumbled buildings, determined to adorn their street for Ramadan. This marks the first celebration since a ceasefire ended Israel’s two-year conflict that left much of Gaza in devastation.
For the locals, hanging festive ornaments is more than a traditional seasonal practice. It represents an effort to reclaim life amid the destruction.
For months, ash and dust enveloped the neighborhood. Today, banners proclaiming “Ramadan Mubarak” and “Welcome, Holy Month” stretch across alleyways still bearing the marks of bombardment.
Red and yellow lights illuminate the gray horizon of damaged buildings. These decorations are powered by small generators that operate only for a few hours nightly—but that is sufficient to bring warmth and hope.
Children dart between the tents that have replaced their homes, laughing as they test the lanterns that endured the conflict alongside them.
