Mohammed Awaida, the owner of the South Forest Park zoo in Khan Yunis, said the animals were dying because his staff couldn't get to the zoo to feed and care properly for the animals due to Israel's daily attacks and the blockade.
He said the keepers were desperately trying to keep the animals alive, the Daily mail reported on Monday.
He added that the situation in the Gaza Strip has made it impossible to keep animals alive because there is not enough food to feed all of them.
The South Forest Park zoo is one of the Gaza Strip’s five zoos.
The Gaza Strip has been under a crippling
siege since 2007. The blockade, which has cut off the territory from the outside world, has led to an economic and humanitarian crisis in the densely-populated enclave.
