‘Eid of Sadness’: Gaza marks festival amid Israeli bombings, lack of food

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip had little to celebrate as they marked Eid al-Fitr with rapidly dwindling food supplies and no end in sight to the Israeli bombardment.
Many held prayers outside demolished mosques on the day marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, as at least 22 Palestinians were killed on Sunday, most of them women and children.
The Muslim festival is supposed to be a joyous occasion, when families gather for feasts and buy new clothes for children – but most of Gaza’s two million Palestinians are just trying to survive.

Al Jazeera’s Victoria Gatenby reports on what has become a sombre and a muted holiday in Gaza.
