Israel's military assault in retaliation for Hamas' deadly Oct 7 attack has pushed Gaza to the brink of famine, aid agencies say, though more aid is starting to flow in.
Palestinians observed Eidul Fitr today, the conclusion of Ramazan, against the backdrop of starvation, ruins and devastation in the Gaza Strip. What is typically a joyous festival for millions was held against the backdrop of tents, rebar, rubble and the stench of death.
These photos — taken in the days leading up to Eid — capture the devastation, the desperation and the indomitable spirit of the Palestinian to live their lives despite an ongoing onslaught which continues to thin their numbers. Since the Oct 7 attacks of Hamas on Israelis, the retaliatory invasion has killed more than 33,000 Gazans, most of whom are women and children.
