Saudi Arabia Calls to Stop Brutal Atrocities in Gaza

The message from the "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques" (official title for Saudi Arabia King) states that the blessed month of Ramadan will bring peace and security to the Islamic world and beyond.

The message also emphasizes that the state's peace and prosperity will continue, and encourages those who fast to pray for the acceptance of their fasting.

Palestinians began fasting for Ramadan with no end in sight to Israeli attacks and worsening hunger.

UNRWA says “hunger is everywhere in Gaza” as Ramadan begins and reiterates calls for an “immediate ceasefire” during the holy month.

During the Muslim holy month, families would ordinarily break the daily fast with feasts but amid the war, even where food is available, there is little beyond canned goods and the prices are too high for many.
