Dozens of neglected animals have been rescued from a ramshackle zoo in Gaza. Four Paws International plans to resettle the animals in sanctuaries in Jordan and South Africa.
Members of Four Paws International, an animal welfare group, check on the animalas at Erez crossing on the Israel and Gaza border, Sunday, April 7, 2019. The group evacuated dozens of animals languishing in a ramshackle Gaza zoo Sunday to sanctuaries abroad, in the fourth and largest such rescue mission in the beleaguered, war-torn Palestinian enclave.
“The zoo has been in a bad situation in recent years due to economic and political turmoil,” said Amir Khalil, a veterinarian from the Vienna-based organization. “Most of the animals had a sort of traumatization.” Some died of cold and hunger in makeshift zoos as keepers failed to provide adequate care, while others were killed during the 50-day war in 2014.
