World’s Worst Zoo: Dozens of Animals Starve at Khan Younis Zoo in Gaza

world’s worst zoo: Dozens of animals starve at animal ‘attraction’ in Gaza

WATCH THIS EXCLUSIVE VIDEO OF ANIMALS STARVED TO DEATH AT "GAZA ZOO".




Dozens of animals have wasted away from thirst or hunger at Khan Younis zoo in the impoverished Gaza Strip Zoo owner Mohammed Awaida claimed staff couldn't get to the zoo because of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict Monkeys, lions, tiger, porcupines and crocodiles were all left to rot away in their enclosures at the animal park Flies buzz around the emaciated body of a lion as it decays in the sun; nearby the mummified corpse baboon lies on the ground- it's head still tilted up as though looking out of its enclosure, across from it a porcupine's brittle spines protrude from its lifeless body.


They are among the dozens of animals which have died at Khan Younis zoo in the impoverished Gaza Strip after they were left without food.
Zoo owner Mohammed Awaida has blamed the Palestinian and Israeli conflict for the tragedy- claiming it meant that staff were unable to feed or care properly for the animals at the zoo.
