Download How are people in Gaza observing Ramadan?

Muslims around the world are observing the holy month of Ramadan. It's a month of fasting, reflection, community and family time. But this year it feels different.

Iqra Farooq, a BBC journalist in London, explains how people have traditionally marked Ramadan and how the Israel-Gaza war is impacting those traditions.

We also hear from Muslims, from Gaza to Sudan, who discuss how the conflict is affecting them and their families during Ramadan.
