Israeli attacks on mosques make Gazans afraid to attend the nighttime prayers of Ramadan.
Ramadan's first day is "difficult," according to English instructor Mahmoud Al-Qeshwi of Rafah, who told Al Jazeera that food is still hard to come by and costs "ten times" as much as before the war. Working at a free volunteer food kitchen, he claimed to serve hot meals to "tens of thousands" of displaced families daily. While there are still some mosques where people can pray, "a lot of people are afraid to go," Al-Qeshwi said as a large number of Palestinians in Gaza participated in the evening prayers of Ramadan.
