Palestinians prepare sweet known in Arabic as "Halkoum" to be sold ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, at a factory in Gaza City on May 09, 2021. Eid al-Fitr this year is different in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Muslim's holy fasting month of Ramadan when faithfuls abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual activities from dawn to dusk. Photo by Mohammed Salem
