This year, the holy month looks dramatically different for many Palestinians due to Israel's war on Gaza. Here's one young woman's experience.Palestinians gather to collect food aid this month during Ramadan near Al Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza .
After that we tidied up and prayed maghrib. We'd make katayef and eat kunafa and drink coffee and juice and kids would play in the streets. Then we would go to tarawih. Now we just eat small dates and small pieces of bread to start the fast. We end the fast in the same way. It's a sadness meal. It's not our tradition, it's not our feeling. We try to pray, and after fajr we sleep.
I want to smell the traditional food, the spices. When we are eating in Ramadan, we are eating the smells of food. My mother inside the kitchen, my father outside, all the family works together to make a nice meal.
