Palestinian labourers work at a cement factory at night to avoid the day time heat in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on June 22, 2016 during Islam's holy fasting month of Ramadan. Ramadan is sacred to Muslims because it is during that month that tradition says the Koran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed. The fast is one of the five main religious obligations under Islam. More than 1.5 billion Muslims around the world will mark the month, during which believers abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and having sex from dawn until sunset. Photo by Abed Rahim Khatib
