article Event Overview

As the holy month of Ramadan concluded in March 2026, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), with field implementation by Phoenix Co., launched the "Happy Eid" initiative. The goal was simple yet profound: to remind the people of Gaza that they are not forgotten during Eid al-Fitr.

A particularly touching phase of the distribution took place inside Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Volunteers went room to room, offering the "Happy Eid" boxes to injured children and patients, successfully bringing much-needed smiles to their faces and a brief respite from their pain.
