Charity removes 15 animals from ‘worst zoo in world’

Four Paws, an animal welfare group, crossed from Gaza into Israel with a tiger, five monkeys, a porcupine, and an emu, among others. Most of the animals are destined for an animal sanctuary in Jordan while the tiger is headed to a refuge in South Africa.
The animals’ removal effectively closed the long-troubled zoo. The charity said the Khan Younis zoo suffered financial difficulties earlier this year and could not provide the animals with proper care and food. After the zoo owner asked the organisation for help, Four Paws provided food and medical checks. It was later decided he animals would be transferred elsewhere.
