The last Zoo in Gaza under siege and starvation

Original Social Media Post

"💔🇵🇸Palestinian children watch a lion in the city of Rafah in the southern #Gaza Strip at one of the last remaining zoos in the enclave. #Israel’s bloody war on the #Gaza Strip leaves not only children starving but also animals. In one of the last few zoos left in the #Gaza Strip, zookeepers in Rafah city struggle to save the remaining animals from starvation. With only extremely limited supplies left for #Gaza’s human population, the animals are left with little to nothing. In the zoo in Rafah, two lion cubs, four monkeys, and several birds have died in the past weeks while the remaining rest are struggling for their lives. “The animals barely survive. The situation is indescribably tragic,” said one of the zookeepers. With the ever-increasing severe shortage of food, water, and medical supplies as Israel’s relentless war drags on, entering its 13th week, it’s uncertain how many of #Gaza’s animals will survive" - Source
