Ramadan in Gaza

2.2 million people in Gaza are on the brink of famine. [USA for UNFPA]( Beginning tonight after sunset, Muslim populations around the world will celebrate the holy month of Ramadan. Even in places like Gaza — where ongoing conflict has created an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. 2.2 million people are on the brink of famine. One in six children aged under two are acutely malnourished. Newborns are dying because mothers are unable to get prenatal or postnatal care. Millions around the world will honor their religious faith by fasting during daylight hours this Ramadan season, and this is all the more reason to not forget those who are forced to go hungry because there is simply no food to eat. In Gaza, people are growing more desperate by the day — turning to scavenged scraps of rotten corn, animal fodder unfit for human consumption, and even leaves. The United Nations even warned that the alarming lack of food, surging malnutrition, and disease could lead to an "explosion" in child deaths in Gaza.
