Gaza families skip Eid sacrifices for third year as war limits access to animals
According to TRT World reporting, Palestinian families in Gaza have been unable to afford or obtain sacrificial animals for Eid celebrations for a third consecutive year, with sources describing the situation as leaving children without traditional meat or festive observance. The reporting attributes the scarcity to the ongoing conflict and its economic impact on the enclave. TRT World frames this as part of broader humanitarian conditions affecting religious and cultural practices in Gaza.
