Ramadan Aid Efforts Intensify Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict

Muslims in the U.S. are preparing for a more somber Ramadan due to the Israel-Hamas war, with many feeling unable to truly celebrate as the conflict has deeply affected their communities. The war has made fasting and charity more difficult, and has led to a sense of guilt and sorrow as they witness the suffering of their loved ones in Gaza, where food is difficult to come by and the death toll continues to rise. Despite this, some are still finding ways to uphold the pillars of Ramadan and express solidarity with their families and friends in Gaza.
