Displaced Lebanese celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the end of Ramadan, amid the conflict with Israel | Vídeo

Beirut, March 20 (EFE).- Like many others displaced by the war in Lebanon, Abbas (a fictitious name) spends the important Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr under a tarp that fails to keep out Beirut’s persistent rains.

“What Eid? There is no Eid; my children and I will be here,” he laments. The vast majority of the more than one million displaced people come from Shiite areas, a community in which some begin Eid this Friday—specifically the followers of cleric Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah—while others closer to the Iranian and Iraqi schools of thought consider the first day to be tomorrow, Saturday.
