The tent's interior walls are constructed from patterned fabric, featuring horizontal stripes in red, black, and white, and are illuminated by multiple vertical strands of warm white and blue LED string lights.
Long tables, draped in bright red cloth, stretch into the distance, laden with food and surrounded by countless individuals, predominantly men and children. These scenes depict a community finding strength in unity, sharing sustenance and companionship. The temporary structures and tents visible in the background underscore the precarious circumstances, yet the focus remains on the collective act of breaking fast together, a moment of peace and shared humanity.
