Gaza's NAMA Zoo is struggling to survive. It's getting harder to provide care for the animals in an economy crippled by a blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt
Six years ago, the lone tiger died, and despite visitors' frequent demands for a replacement, the owners have not been able to afford to buy or feed a new one.
But with the economy crippled by a blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt, two of the zoos have closed. At the lions' cages, children stand to take pictures from a distance and giggle as they touch the bars on the cages of deer and birds. A ticket costs less than $1 because people can't afford more, Sultan said.
For the moment, that appears unlikely. Gaza lacks the medical facilities to treat animals like lions and tigers.
