As Lebanon marks the holy month of Ramadan, the traditional joy and festivities of Eid al-Fitr are being overshadowed by the harsh realities of war and displacement. For many families who have been forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing conflict, the holiday now serves as a painful reminder of what they have lost. The war in Lebanon, which has been raging for nearly three years, has left deep scars on the country and its people, with many struggling to access basic necessities like food, water, and shelter. As Eid celebrations get underway, the question on many minds is: how can families find joy and meaning in a time of such great hardship?
