Amidst the ruins of their home, the Abu Rizek family reflects on loss and food shortages during Ramadan in war-torn Gaza.

While the family has managed to scrape together enough food for iftar, the sunset breakfast after a day without eating or drinking, many other people are far less fortunate in the stricken Palestinian enclave where famine looms.Last Ramadan was great but this year it's not. A lot of things are not there any more. My sisters, my family. Our house was destroyed. There are still people under the rubble not pulled out."We only eat soup and canned food. A can of beans.
