Israel Evacuates Animals from "World's Worst Zoo" in Gaza Strip

Abra Forman : Aug 25, 2016  Breaking Israel News

"The closure of the zoo means a new life for the tiger and the other animals, which up to now have had to waste their lives away in desolate cages, suffering from a lack of food and medical care," -veterinarian Dr. Amir Khalil

[Breaking Israel News] Israel assisted in the evacuation of 15 wild animals from a dilapidated zoo in southern Gaza which has been called the "world's worst", rescuing the wildlife for better lives in zoos and sanctuaries elsewhere. (Abed Rahim Khatib/ Flash90)

Included among the animals rescued were a tiger, five Guenon monkeys, two ostriches, two deer, two eagles, two turtles, a swan and a porcupine.
 
All of the animals were brought from Gaza to Israel on Wednesday through the Erez Crossing. Some will remain in Israel, joining zoos in Ramat Gan and Ben Shemen. Others will be sent overseas to zoos in South Africa and Jordan.
 
The Khan Yunis Zoo first grabbed headlines earlier this year when it was revealed that the impoverished zoo was full of starving, dying animals. To attract visitors, the owner began exhibiting the mummified corpses of dead animals.
