First Iftar — Al-Nuseirat Camp
On the 18th of March, hot iftar meals were served to orphaned children and their caregivers at Husome Camp in Al-Nuseirat. Many of the children present were displaced and without parents. For children living through displacement, a shared iftar is more than food — it is a moment of dignity and communal belonging during the most sacred month of the year.
Both iftars were cooked from one shared kitchen in central Gaza. Husome Camp (Al-Nuseirat) and Nafaq Street Camp sit within the same displacement corridor — roughly ten minutes apart. One YDA team cooked and served both nights.
