In Gaza’s southern city of Khan Yunis, people have held the first gathering to fully recite the holy Qur’an. More than 200 reciters gathered to recite the entire holy book by memory. They attended the event to observe religious traditions in Ramadan and at the same time demonstrate their resilience despite hardships caused by Israel’s genocidal war.
