People across the war-ravaged Gaza Strip have marked the start of one of Islam’s most important holidays with prayers outside destroyed mosques and homes, with little hope the war with Israel will end soon.

Adha, Gaza's displaced families prayed in rubble, lacking food, shelter, and hope. With mosques and homes destroyed, celebrations faded into grief. Nine civilians were killed while seeking aid, and famine threatens nearly all of Gaza.

As Muslims around the world celebrated Eid Al-Adha on Friday in Nairobi Kenya, the gathered crowds prayed for their fellow Muslims in Gaza.
