Eid-al-Fitr has begun. The Muslim celebration marking the end of Ramadan begins with the start of the lunar month of Shawwal and traditionally lasts three days.
Gaza
The festival begins with prayer, which was led in Gaza by Khaled Mashal, the leader of the Hamas Islamist group.
Worshippers congregated in an area devastated during 50 days of fighting last summer.

The conflict killed almost 2,300 people and damaged around 100,000 buildings and structures. Many residents in damaged neighbourhoods continue to live among the debris.
Jordan
At a Jordanian camp for Syrian refugees, the mood was sombre.
Mohammed al-Hiraki arrived in Jordan in January 2013. He is one of more than four million Syrians to have fled their homeland as a result of the civil war.
