Ramazan begins, overshadowed by conflict for many in ME
LONDON: Muslims around the world began observing Ramazan on Monday, Islam’s holy month during which believers abstain from eating and drinking during daylight hours.
But among those displaced by fighting in Iraq and Syria, many families say that tough living conditions will make it difficult for them to participate this year. Falluja, already suffering water, food and medicine shortages, is being bombed by Iraqi forces, allied militias and aircraft from the US-led coalition, in an offensive to retake the city from Islamic State militants. Many families have fled to a nearby makeshift camp, where they say they have little electricity to keep them cool in the blistering heat of the daytime fasting hours, and little food to break the fast at dusk. "Who can fast this year? Doesn’t someone who fasts need to eat? We have **thing," said 75-year-old Shukriya Na’im, in comments echoed by many others in the camp. "We used to lead a comfortable life when we were at our home. We used to fast and welcome Ramazan with happiness but **w our life in the tents is so hard, diseases are rampant and it is too hot," Sana Khamis, also displaced, said. In Damascus, many complained that eco**mic hardship caused by Syria’s five-year conflict made it hard to enjoy the month’s festive spirit. Ramazan traditionally begins the morning after the sighting of the crescent moon. In most countries it began on Monday, although some Muslims in countries including Oman, Pakistan, Iraq and Leba**n - were due to start a day later. The daily fast often ends with a large evening meal. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Ramazan begins, overshadowed by conflict for many in ME || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
