Mosques in New York City are overwhelmed during Ramadan, accommodating an influx of Muslim migrants, primarily from African nations. They provide food, shelter, and support, but face financial strains and lack of city assistance. Imam Niass converted his mosque into a makeshift shelter, despite mounting utility bills. Many migrants arrive destitute, seeking refuge from the streets and subway. The city program to aid faith-based shelters falls short, with only six approved sites. Despite challenges, mosques strive to meet migrants’ needs, emphasizing the importance of community support during the holy month.
