Food insecurity bites into Ramadan meals in Muslim countries

Food insecurity is weighing down on Muslims around the world during the holy month of Ramadan, which is meant for community gatherings and feasting over big plates of mouth-watering food. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said that conflicts, political and economic crises, the Covid pandemic and climate change have all caused food insecurities on various staples. From the Gaza Strip, Iraq, to Syria and Yemen, people there have had to adapt during the holy month of fasting.
