STORYLINE

Eid al-Adha, or the feast of sacrifice, falls at this month when Muslims will slaughter sheep, goats, camels or calves.

The spread of the coronavirus in Gaza has overshadowed the preparations for the feast as it has severely damaged the already sluggish economy of the Israeli-blockaded territory.

Buying sacrificial animals on installments has been increased notably over the past few years, mainly after Israel tightened the blockade it has been imposing on Gaza since 2007.

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the unemployment rate in Gaza hit 56 percent. Figures of a Gaza-based committee resisting the Israeli blockade showed that around 83 percent of the Gaza Strip's 2 million population live below the poverty line.
