Gaza zoo rescue completed successfully, Israel says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael says the rescue of animals from a poorly maintained zoo in Gaza has been carried out successfully.
“At the initiative of Four Paws [animal welfare charity], a tiger, five monkeys, two ostriches, two gazelles, two tortoises, a swan and a porcupine left this morning,” says a statement from the Agriculture and Rural Development Ministry.
The animals, which are the last remaining wildlife in the Khan Younis zoo in southern Gaza, will be rehoused in South Africa and Jordan, as well as at Israel’s Ben Shemen monkey park and Ramat Gan Safari.
