Families In Lebanon Aim To Celebrate Eid Despite The Steep Costs


Listen • 3:21
RUTH SHERLOCK, BYLINE: The Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha is a time of prayer, gift-giving and feasting. But Lebanon is in the middle of a staggering economic crisis, and a lot of people there can't afford even simple food. Here's NPR's Ruth Sherlock in Beirut.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: (Non-English language spoken, laughter).
SHERLOCK: I'm walking along Beirut's corniche, this kind of seafront promenade, and it's the first night of Eid, and it is packed. There's families here, children everywhere. There's - just spotted two little girls running around in big, white, puffy dresses.
(CROSSTALK)
SHERLOCK: I meet a family - three sisters and their husbands and their kids, including 14-year-old Miriam Salah.
