Several youth groups in Gaza have organised festivals and trips for the families of prisoners during the holy month of Ramadan.

Ahmad Al-Afifi, a member of these youth groups, said: “We volunteer during this holy month in order to show people that this is the month of tolerance, brotherhood and social cohesion. We take them from their homes to open spaces and organise a number of activities for these families. Such activities include various games, entertainment and iftars funded by the donations we receive.”

“Our team is made up of a number of youth activists who want to give all they can during this month to please their people,” he added.
