Eid al-Fitr in Gaza used to be a joyous occasion when families got together to celebrate the end of Ramadan. Now families gather to mourn their dead and bid farewell to the next martyr.
“Eid is special”– “and we will tell you why,” say 20-year old bloggers and twin sisters from Gaza City, Asmaa and Saja Khaldi, otherwise known as the “Khaldi twins.” The pair posted a video greeting on Sunday of how they and other Palestinians celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha which occurred over the weekend.
