We cannot understate the importance of donkeys and horses in Gaza right now. As you may be aware, earlier this year we set up a mobile team in Gaza to help deliver first aid to donkeys and horses in dire need. Despite communications out of Gaza being incredibly difficult, today I can bring you an update from our team, sent over by Dr Saif.
Our work in Gaza has also caught the attention of the media in the last few weeks. We were delighted that the BBC have featured our work in a news report and also a written piece online. You can see the article by clicking here.
All our work is only possible thanks to you. As Dr Saif told us: “we are trying all possible ways to save donkeys and horses despite being in a very harsh time. Many thanks for all your endless support and kindness.”
News from Gaza
Dr Saif has sent over a report to show how their work in Gaza is helping donkeys and horses – and the people they support. We hope this shows the impact of your donations.
Dr Saif told us: “It’s difficult to describe the situation in Gaza. It is hard for our team to operate, with everything becoming a battle. But so far we have treated 1,000 donkeys.”
“Without donkeys, the situation in Gaza would be very hard. Gaza is like 50 years ago, with few cars. And I have been told by so many people that without Safe Haven for Donkey’s work, it would have been impossible for their donkeys to have survived.”
“Our emergency work helps by giving out food for donkeys, along with treating wounds and providing other first aid. We are trying our best to save as many donkeys as we can.”
Thank you once again to everyone who has supported our work in Gaza. If you’d like to find out more, or to give a donation, please visit our appeal page here.
Thank you!
It’s only with your help we are able to improve the lives of working donkeys, mules and horses in Egypt, the West Bank, and Gaza, as well as care for all the animals at our sanctuary in Israel, and our rescue centre and hospital over in the West Bank.
We hope this update has helped to show you how your donations are helping donkeys in desperate need – thank you for your support!
