Gaza zoo struggles to care for animals amid ongoing conflict

Gaza zoo struggles to care for animals amid ongoing conflict

A zoo in Gaza's Nuseirat refugee camp is operating with malnourished animals due to shortages of food and medicine. The owner relocated surviving animals from Rafah after fleeing an Israeli military operation in 2024. Veterinarians say the animals face stress from the conflict and an inadequate diet of frozen meat. Some animals left behind during the move were found dead, with only bones remaining.

Beyond heartbreaking. The workers risking their lives to care for them during shelling are heroes. That dedication is everything.

Frozen meat isn't even remotely close to what these species need. The long-term health damage from this malnutrition is another tragedy.

This zoo was probably a rare source of joy for kids there. Now even that small comfort is gone. The layers of loss are endless.
