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.

Sanaa al-Ghola, a displaced woman from Shaijiyeh, cried and prayed for her son, Mohamed al-Ghoul, as her daughter comforted her.

She said her son was killed in a shelling over two weeks ago after reaching his grandfather’s house to collect flour with his father, who was wounded in the attack.

“We lost our home, money, and everything," she said.

"There was flour and food in it, and we lost them," she added.

Palestinians across the war-ravaged Gaza Strip 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.
