The international aid agency Islamic Relief says this is the most challenging Ramadan they've ever had for food distributions.

Shazia Arshad, who works for the charity, says the current difficulties are driven in part because of the war in Ukraine, climate change, and increases in global food prices.

She tells Newsday: 鈥淥ne family told us they had some water, they had nothing else to eat and they went in to their second day of fasting with nothing.鈥�
