breakfastの語源が「break(破る)fast(断食)＞「断食後に初めてとる食事」」（ウィズダム）というのは有名です。授業で聞いた時は「あっそう」的な反応だったんですが、ラマダン明けの食事の説明で出てきて、やっぱりbreak fastなのかと妙に納得してしまいました。こういう腹に落ちる瞬間を大切にしたいですね。といっても中学で習ってから30年近く経ってしまっていますが（苦笑）
NPRの記事で以下の記事を知りました。ガザ地区は停電のため浜辺で断食明けの食事を食べている人が増えているとか。電気もない中断食をして大丈夫なのか、とても心配になってしまいます。。。
Fleeing heat and electricity blackouts, Gazans break their fasts on the beach due to power crisis

GAZA CITY (Ma’an) – As an electricity crisis continues to afflict the Gaza Strip, Muslim residents of the besieged coastal enclave are breaking their fasts on the beach, as the holy month of Ramadan enters its second week.
“Without any previous plans and preparations, my wife suggested that we take our homemade food and go to the beach because of power cut during Iftar time,” said Muhammad Salim from al-Shati refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip. Like several other families, Salim and his five family members set out for the beach in Sheikh Ijlein south of Gaza City, in an effort to escape the extreme heat and poor lighting indoors.
断食明けの食事はIftarというそうでネイティブ向けの大型辞典には載っています。ムスリムが増えていく中で英語学習辞典にも載る時が近い内あるかもしれません。

What is Ramadan?
It’s the Holy Month in the Islamic Calendar, when Muslims fast (also known as sawm) from sunrise to sunset for approximately 30 days. Doing so is one of the five pillars of Islam. The dates change annually as they’re determined by the sighting of a new moon – for many Muslims, from Saudi Arabia. The start and end of Ramadan will be declared the day before.
