Muslims around the world are celebrating Eid al-Fitr in another unprecedented year.

With the uneven distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, Muslims in countries like the US and UK have been able to gather en masse for the first time in over a year and celebrate the end of Ramadan. Meanwhile, across Asia, some ceremonies have been more muted and somber, as families continue to lose members to the virus, reports the Guardian.

Adding to the complex emotions amid this year's celebration, Muslim communities have been demonstrating solidarity with those affected by the crisis in Gaza, where Israeli strikes have killed dozens of people, including many children.

As millions share traditional feasts after a month of fasting, Eid will continue through the evening, and often through the week.

Here are some pictures of Muslims around the world celebrating Eid.
