Egyptian youths decorate their residential street in preparation for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in Cairo's Hadayek el-Maadi district, on April 21, 2020. From cancelled iftar feasts to suspended mosque prayers, Muslims across the Middle East are bracing for a bleak month of Ramadan fasting as the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic lingers. Ramadan is a period for both self-reflection and socialising. Believers fast from dawn to dusk and then gather around a family or community meal each evening of Islam's holiest month, which begins later this week and ends with Eid al-Fitr festivities (Photo by Khaled Desouki/AFP Photo)
