"NYC Mosques Face Challenges Housing and Feeding Muslim Migrants During Ramadan"
Mosques in New York City are struggling to accommodate and feed an increasing number of Muslim migrants, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan. Many mosques have become day centers for migrants to rest and recover, while some have opened their doors for iftar meals. The surge in migrants, especially from African Muslim-majority countries, has put a strain on the resources of these mosques, prompting appeals for donations. The city's faith-based communities are facing challenges in providing overnight shelter, and while a program was announced to support them, only a few have been approved so far. Despite the difficulties, migrants express gratitude for the support provided by the mosques.
