STORYLINE:
Palestinians in the central Gaza's city of Nuseirat, prayed Friday on the streets next to destroyed mosques during the last Friday prayers of Ramadan.

People sat on prayer mats on the streets surrounded by rubble for Friday prayers during Ramadan.

More than two years of war has decimated the strip including damaging mosques.

“We pray in the streets or in small prayer rooms, there are no mosques,” said Bakr Al-Sahhar, a resident.

Palestinians say that despite the five-month long ceasefire Israeli airstrikes across the strip continue.

“Nothing has changed; the war continues. Say no to anyone who says otherwise. The airstrikes continue," said Osama Sleem, a worshiper displaced from east of Gaza city.
