Gaza animals struggle to survive
The article discusses the difficult situation faced by the Gaza Strip's zoo, where the animals suffer from malnutrition and weakness due to a lack of food, medicines, and vaccines caused by ongoing conflict and destruction. The zoo's owner, Mahmoud Juma'a, who was forced to relocate the animals from Rafah to Al Nuseirat to escape Israeli attacks, reopened the zoo with the goal of providing a hopeful environment for children traumatized by the violence. However, many animals are traumatized by the sounds and upheavals caused by the fighting, and some have died or disappeared during the displacement. The zoo staff face enormous challenges in providing proper care and attention to the animals, as the effects of war continue to impact their mental and physical health.
