"Alaa, a Syrian refugee, expressed his dire situation, stating, 'I got rejected from staying in a school, then I went to sleep on the corniche. Now, I'm just looking for somewhere I can be safe.'"
"In Lebanon, more than a million people have been displaced, and the uncertainty of the war's end complicates any potential for celebration during Eid al-Fitr."
"In Iran, the ongoing US-Israeli attacks have exacerbated an already dire economic crisis, making it difficult for people to afford traditional Eid items, with shopping in places like Tehran's grand bazaar becoming potentially dangerous."
Eid al-Fitr celebrations are significantly affected by ongoing conflicts and economic crises in Iran, Gaza, and Lebanon. In Lebanon, over a million people are displaced due to recent violence, with many, like Syrian refugee Alaa, struggling to find shelter. In Iran, the economic situation worsens as US-Israeli attacks continue, making it difficult for people to purchase traditional holiday items. The atmosphere is marked by uncertainty and fear, overshadowing the religious significance of the holiday and making celebrations nearly impossible for many.
