RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza - 19 July 2021. Palestinians shop at markets a day before Eid al-Adha in Gaza city. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Hassan el-Ashi, a seller. STORYLINE: Eid al-Adha, or the feast of sacrifice, falls at this month when Muslims will slaughter sheep, goats, camels or calves. Despite the difficult economic conditions, Gazans are preparing to celebrate the upcoming Eid al-Adha festival. After the 11-day conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip ended on May 21, hundreds of homes and shops in Gaza have been destroyed, and significant economic damage was caused to Gazans. 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. However, Gazan residents still flocked to the local markets for supplies needed to celebrate the holiday, which is set to commence on Tuesday. People have bought chocolates, toys, new clothes, and other products. Footage by APAwire
