GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The animal sector also fell victim to the recent Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which broke out May 10 and ended with an Egyptian- and UN-brokered cease-fire agreement May 21.
Many animals were killed or injured, whether by direct targeting or as a result of missile shrapnel; others died due to their owners’ inability to feed them or due to a shortage of animal food, as Israel closed the crossings during the war. It allowed fodder to enter the Gaza Strip after 17 days of closure.
