After Three Years of Interruption Due to Genocide, Qurbani Animal Slaughter Resumes in Gaza

The 1447 Hijri Eid al-Adha has become a historic day. After a three-year interruption, Adara Relief International has resumed direct slaughter operations in Gaza. “Performing Qurbani in Gaza is a choice for donors not only to fulfil one of the Islamic commandments, but also as an effort to manifest humanitarian concern,” said Indah Kurniati, Fundraising Director of Adarr Relief International, on Tuesday. Although in limited quantities, five goats served as a positive first step forward. This limited number is a direct impact of the Israeli Zionist aggression, which has also targeted livestock in Gaza. “The scarcity of animals, high prices, and extremely challenging implementation conditions are unique stories for Qurbani in Gaza this year,” she added. Even on the day of Eid al-Adha, Israeli Zionist forces continued attacks on the Gaza Strip. “Nevertheless, the sacrificial animals from Adara supporters were able to be slaughtered on Eid al-Adha and distributed to 70 families in Gaza,” Indah concluded.
