Caturday: Update on Animal Friends Shelter in Gaza
As most people know, the situation in Gaza is beyond-belief-horrible for both people and animals. When hunger and devastation strike, the animals are more often than not forgotten and left to survive a while with fear until they die of starvation. They are the often forgotten victims of wars, whether in the Middle East, Ukraine, or Africa.
Here is an update on the situation with the Animal Friends Shelter in northern Gaza, that has appeared in Caturday columns in the past (along with other shelters in Gaza, shelters in Israel, and animal rescue efforts in other parts of the world). For more posts about these situations, see our columns on "Cats in War."
Lack of food and hunger has become unsustainable for the families of the two brothers, Tameer and Samir, who operate the shelter. Thanks to donors, one of the families has begun the process of emigration. The other family still needs a few more donations. So do Tameer and Samir who are staying behind in Gaza to continue operation the shelter and taking take of the scared and hungry cats. Check out their progress and needs on Twitter: Animal Friends Shelter (@AnimalFriendsAF) / X (twitter.com). There you can also watch the video, taken at the start of the war, by 10NewsFirst, an international news agency.
