You must advise the agent and/or the airline if planning to skip one or more segments, otherwise if they just 'no-show' the rest of the itinerary will be cancelled.
This change will result in a repricing and ticket reissue, but without know the full itinerary it's impossible to say how much, if anything, would be refunded.
Lack of availability is indeed a consequence of the start of the holy month of Ramadan. Many Saudis will be returning home whilst westerners flee in the opposite direction
