30 Tajura residents in Libya daily cook 300 meals with Bazin during Ramadan to strengthen community ties since 2011.

30 residents in Tajura, a suburb east of Libya's capital, have been volunteering daily during Ramadan to cook and provide around 300 meals for free, utilizing the traditional Libyan dish Bazin, a barley-based dough served with stew. This initiative, which began after the 2011 uprising that overthrew dictator Moamer Kadhafi, aims to bring the community together and revive cultural ties. Meanwhile, in Tripoli, sfinz, a deep-fried doughnut, is seeing a resurgence as a luxury food due to rising living costs, despite Libya's abundant oil reserves and natural gas deposits.
