Wearing traditional white garments, worshippers exchanged greetings throughout the neighborhood, while children were visibly present, adding to the festive atmosphere. "This is the first Eid Al-Fitr I have celebrated in my own home since the outbreak of the war," Hussein Abdul-Shafi, sitting with his children at home, told Xinhua. He added, pointing to the children's laughter and joy on their faces, "Despite the difficult circumstances, we tried to make the children feel the happiness of Eid. He added, "I was displaced for nearly three years because of the war, moving between several areas, but I finally returned to Khartoum. Celebrating Eid at home may be simple, but it feels very different -- it brings me great happiness despite all the challenges."
