Gaza zookeeper fears for his animals after fleeing Rafah

In a cowshed in Gaza’s Khan Yunis, zookeeper Fathi Ahmed Gomaa has created a temporary home for dozens of animals including lions and baboons, having fled with them from Israel’s offensive in Rafah.

“We’ve moved all the animals we had, except for three big lions that remain (in Rafah)”, he said.

“I ran out of time and couldn’t move them.”

Ahmed abandoned his zoo in Rafah when Israel ordered the evacuation of parts of the southern Gazan city.
