Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, sees Muslims around the world celebrating with prayers, family gatherings, and traditional foods. However, this year, the holiday is overshadowed by significant turmoil in places like Gaza, where renewed conflict has resulted in loss of life and resources, affecting the celebratory spirit. While some regions like Syria celebrate newfound freedom after decades of oppression, others face hardships, creating a diverse tapestry of experiences during this important holiday. In Southeast Asia, traditions such as mudik in Indonesia highlight familial bonds, showing how local customs continue despite broader challenges.
Eid al-Fitr celebrations this year occur within diverse contexts, from joy in Indonesia and Malaysia to challenges in Gaza, deeply affecting communities worldwide.
In Gaza, this Eid marks a somber reality as the war continues, with food, medicine, and supplies being cut off, straining the festive spirit.
