Gaza residents mark Eid al-Adha under blockade and beneath the rubble
Palestinians in Gaza have begun Eid al-Adha under siege, surrounded by destruction and displacement, as Israel's blockade and relentless bombardment continue to devastate daily life in the enclave. وسط الغارات الجوية الإسرائيلية المستمرة، أحيا الفلسطينيون في غزة عيد الأضحى بالصلاة فوق أنقاض المساجد التي تعرّضت للقصف #خبرني — خبرني - khaberni (@khaberni) June 6, 2025 Footage emerging from across the Strip shows worshippers gathering for Eid prayers amid the ruins of bombed-out homes and mosques. Others observed the holy day from makeshift shelters and overcrowded camps, where thousands remain displaced with no path to return. Amid ongoing Israeli attacks, Palestinians gathered this morning in Gaza to perform Eid al-Fitr prayers atop the ruins of many destroyed mosques. — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) June 6, 2025 The scenes stand in stark contrast to the spirit of Eid al-Adha — a time of unity, sacrifice and communal joy for Muslims worldwide. Instead, families in Gaza continue to endure shortages of food, water, medicine and fuel, with humanitarian agencies warning of catastrophic conditions exacerbated by Israel's ongoing military campaign and tight blockade.

UAE confirms Eid Al Adha 2025 public holiday dates
The UAE has confirmed that Thursday, June 5 until Sunday, June 8, 2025 will be a public holiday for the public sector. Work will resume as normal on Monday, June 9, 2025. This means those of us who have a two-day weekend will enjoy a lovely four-day break. The announcement was made by the Federal Authority For Government Human Resources – UAE via X (previously Twitter). حسب تعميم للهيئة.. عطلة وقفة عرفة وعيد الأضحى للوزارات والجهات الاتحادية لهذا العام 1446هـ سوف تبدأ من 09 ذي الحجة 1446هـ الموافق يوم الخميس 05 يونيو 2025، وتستمر لغاية 12 ذي الحجة 1446هـ الموافق يوم الأحد 08 يونيو 2025م، على أن يستأنف الدوام الرسمي يوم الاثنين 09 يونيو 2025م. — FAHR (@FAHR_UAE) May 28, 2025 What is Eid Al Adha? According to tradition, Eid Al Adha is held to honour Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son, after being instructed to do so by God. Prophet Ibrahim told his son of the dream, and the son then told his father to follow the order. But God intervened, sending a sheep to take his son's place. The occasion of Eid Al Adha is usually marked with a few days off for both the public and private sectors. At the moment, the public holiday has only been announced for the public sector, but we can expect the announcement to come in for the private sector soon. What other public holidays are there in 2025? After Eid Al Adha, the next public holiday in 2025 is the Islamic New Year which will fall on Friday, June 27, 2025. Prophet Mohammed's (PBUH) birthday will then fall on Monday, September 1, 2025. After September, our next public holiday is in December for Commemoration Day and UAE National Day. Commemoration Day falls on Monday, December 1, and UAE National Day will follow directly after on December 2 and 3 which is Tuesday and Wednesday. Which means, if you enjoy a two-day weekend, you will have a lovely five-day long weekend. However, we will have to wait for the official announcements, so stay tuned to for the announcements.
