A mass wedding ceremony was held in the Gaza Strip, during which 250 Palestinian couples got married simultaneously, reports BBC News.
The celebration took place among the ruins of destroyed buildings and tents of forcibly displaced people.
The event was organized by the United Arab Emirates' humanitarian mission "Operation Gallant Knight 3." The newlyweds came from various parts of the Gaza Strip. The organizers called the celebration a symbol of love and new beginnings for the enclave's residents who have survived war and a humanitarian crisis.
A ceasefire came into effect in the Gaza Strip last October, but according to initial reports, Israeli air strikes continue almost daily.
The war began on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian HAMAS group attacked Israel. At that time, about 1,200 people were killed and another 251 taken hostage.
In response, Israel launched a military operation against HAMAS in the Gaza Strip. According to the enclave's Ministry of Health, over 74,640 people have died during the war.
