Children play in rubble of Gaza for Eid holiday
STORY: "There isn't an atmosphere of Eid or the joy that comes with it," he said.
Six months of an Israeli air and ground campaign in Gaza have changed all aspects of life, with most people driven from their homes, parts of the enclave facing famine, and disease spreading through the tent cities where many now live.
Eid al-Fitr, the festival that ends the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, is usually a time for family celebrations including gifts of new toys for children.
This year, few can afford new toys, or find any in market stalls since Israel halted commercial imports into Gaza as part of its offensive to destroy Hamas, launched after the militant group mounted an armed rampage in Israel on Oct. 7.
