Muslims worldwide are marking Eid al-Adha—a time of reflection, sacrifice, and community. For families in Gaza, this sacred holiday arrives after more than two years of profound hardship.

Before the conflict, the first day of Eid meant new clothes, family gatherings, and the joyful anticipation of a feast. This year, many families woke up unsure of where their next meal would come from.

This Eid al-Adha, WCK teams across Gaza worked through the night to serve protein-rich meals with rice to displaced families—cooking with care to bring even a small sense of celebration to a day that has always meant so much.

Because even in the hardest moments, traditions are worth honoring.

Joy Is an Act of Strength

On Wednesday, in Al-Saraya Square in Gaza City, children ran laughing between tents. Families gathered. The sounds of prayer filled the air.

For one day, people marked Eid al-Adha the way it was meant to be marked—together.

WCK’s teams made sure families had a meal worthy of the moment. Not just food. A moment of dignity. A reminder that no matter what has been taken from the people of Gaza, the meaning of this day remains.

That is why WCK shows up—every day, for every holiday. Because families in crisis deserve to feel that somebody, somewhere, cares.
