Hundreds of Palestinians gathered in Rafa for the first Iftar of Ramadan, and shared food between the ruins of the destroyed buildings. This has occurred when conversations for the second phase of the ceasefire in Cairo continue to be the intermediary of Israel, Qatar, Egypt and the United States. While Hamas has not directly participated, its situation is being presented through Egypt and Qatari officials.
While shops and street vendors have reopened in some areas, economic difficulty remains. Supermarkets like Hyper Mall have reopened in Nusit, but many essential items are out of reach of people who have lost their livelihood. After sunset, when the time of Iftar was announced, the Palestinians broke their fast with food between the destroyed houses and the rubble of the buildings destroyed in Gaza’s most bombarded city, Rafa.
