Residents in Gaza City visited markets Tuesday to prepare for Ramadan, shopping at roadside stalls set up among heavily damaged buildings.
Shopkeepers sold bread, nuts and dried fruits as people navigated streets lined with rubble.
Several residents said rising prices, lack of cash and widespread destruction have changed the atmosphere compared to previous years.
Ramadan, a month of fasting and prayer for Muslims worldwide comes months after a fragile ceasefire took effect in October following more than two years of war between Israel and Hamas.
