"Eid 2024: Celebrating Eid al-Fitr Across the Globe"

Muslims worldwide celebrated Eid al-Fitr with prayers and festivities, but the holiday was overshadowed by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where a six-month war has caused suffering. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed support for Gaza, calling it a "bleeding wound on the conscience of humanity." Despite the conflict, Muslims in various countries, including Indonesia, Pakistan, and Malaysia, gathered for prayers and celebrations, with some expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza. In Malaysia, a recent controversy over socks printed with the word "Allah" sparked a call for unity and reconciliation from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
