04:54Dozens of displaced Palestinians gathered to perform the first Friday prayer of Ramadan inside and outside a tent in a refugee camp in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.
Footage shows displaced people inside a makeshift mosque dubbed 'al-Faraj mosque' praying and listening to Friday sermons, while others can also be seen praying outside the tent.
"Upon setting this oratory, a large number of worshippers flocked here, which exceeded the number of worshippers outside it, thanks God. Palestinians are committed people to their prayers. Despite facing crises and ordeals, these people maintain their prayers and worship by reading the Quran and fasting," a displaced person said.
Another refugee added that people were displaced from their homes while their mosques had been demolished. "Yet we insisted on resetting our mosques. We therefore established this simple makeshift mosque thanks to the philanthropists."
Fighting continues in Gaza for a sixth month after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200, according to Israeli officials.
Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that more than 31,000 people had been killed and more than 73,000 injured at the time of publication.
The IDF has repeatedly stated that it is targeting Hamas locations and infrastructure in the enclave. However, United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza, before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
