Muslims around world observe 2nd Ramadan under COVID-19 restrictions

Ramadan falls under COVID-19 restrictions once again in many parts of the world for the second year, taking place during partial lockdowns and travel restrictions.

Most restaurants are closed, gatherings of people are not allowed, and there are restrictions on movement after hours. All this makes the daily breaking of the fast, Iftar, a challenge for many.

In Germany, members of the DITIB mosque in Wuppertal have risen to this challenge, providing 'Iftar to go,' or a packaged meal, after a successful first run last year when the restrictions were brought in around this time.

Muslim Indonesians are still able to pray in mosques with physical distancing rules and safety protocols in place.

The world's most populous Muslim-majority nation continues to battle one of Asia's highest rates of transmission of COVID-19, while transportation ministry said internal travel ban would come into force during next month's Eid al-Fitr celebrations, in an effort to prevent large-scale transmission of the coronavirus.

Palestinians in Jerusalem decorated hallways and shops of the Old City, feeling more joyful this year’s Ramadan will be freer than last year’s restrictions.

Israel has included Palestinians in East Jerusalem in its swift rollout of vaccines.

Although Jerusalem is still without foreign tourists, far more people were roaming the Old City, where shops reported brisk business.
