Under the damaged dome of al-Albani Mosque in Khan Younis, families stood on broken stone and dust, raising their voices in takbir, the declaration of god's greatness, to mark the first morning of Eid al-Adha on Friday.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are struggling to celebrate one of the most important Islamic holidays. To mark Eid al-Adha — Arabic for the Festival of Sacrifice — Muslims traditionally slaughter a sheep or cow and give away part of the meat to the poor as an act of charity. Then they have a big family meal with sweets.

Palestinians visited a cemetery in Gaza City to pray for their buried loved ones on the first day of Eid al-Adha Friday morning. In the midst of the rubble of the devastated graveyard, stood the remains of a partially collapsed mosque.
