BEIRUT， June 9 (Xinhua) -- Suheila Idriss， a Syrian woman who fled her devastated town in Aleppo and took refuge in the plains of Marjeyoun in South Lebanon， feels confused and puzzled every day while preparing the traditional iftar for her family.
Iftar is the meal that breaks the long day of fasting for the Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan that started Monday.
"We cannot prepare the proper iftar because our severe living conditions， and we content ourselves with the minimum required，" Idriss told Xinhua.
"We lost the pleasure of family gathering at the iftar after five years of displacement and our Ramadan remains full of sadness and pain due to the loss of relatives and friends in the war，" she added.
In the nearby plain of Sarda， Jamila al-Ahmad， displaced from Damascus， told Xinhua "before our displacement to Lebanon， we spent two years in our town being bombed and shelled， and we could not find anything to feed ourselves， but here in Lebanon， we depend on aid we get during Ramadan from the United Nations and the local donors."
