In a tent in southern Gaza, Najia Abu Lehia mourns not only her husband but also their failure to perform the pilgrimage to Makkah, or Haj, together before he died a year ago because of war and border closures. Before the Israeli invasion of 2023, at least 3,000 Gazan pilgrims made the Haj every year.

Palestinian Najia Abu Lehia sits with her grandchildren inside a tent at a camp for displaced people, as she speaks about her wish to perform Haj amid restrictions on May 18, 2026. —REUTERS “We registered and our names got selected for the Haj before the war. Then the war broke out here and it became a barrier,” said 64-year-old Abu Lehia, who now lives in a tent encampment in Khan Younis. “I am worried I’ll follow him (die) while I’m longing to perform the Haj. But God willing, we hope to perform the Haj despite the constraints, desp...
