Last year Ramadan was challenging as it came during summertime. “Andrea Magda say on their site.During the holy month of Ramadan Muslims worldwide fast from sunrise tell sunset, during the fats time people do not eat or drink. Palestinian Muslims try to reach the Al Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site for Muslims every Friday during the month of Ramadan. The Israeli military only allows men over 50 years old and women over 45 years old to go though military checkpoints in the West Bank to get into Jerusalem. In total there are 500 Israeli military checkpoints in the West Bank dividing it into 64 separate areas. “The attempt to reach Al Aqsa despite the hours of wait under the sun and the risk of being denied could be considered as an act of heroism.” Stats the two artists.According to the UN agency OCHA, during the month of Ramadan 2009 Israel has prohibited more than 40 percent of the West Bank population, from entering occupied East Jerusalem for Friday prayers.More of Andrea Magda photos could be seen at www.andrea-magda.com (http://www.andrea-magda.com/)
