Since the ceasefire in Gaza was announced our team has begun working in areas previously inaccessible. This is a relief for the many animals in desperate need of veterinary care.
Dr Saif told us: “words cannot fully convey the devastation and heartbreak we encountered there. But we are here to heal what once seemed impossible to heal.”
Many animals perished due to the war, while others are in dire need of veterinary treatment. Our remarkable team are determined to provide first aid to as many animals as they can.
Today we bring you an update from Gaza, along with recent photos of their work.
We hope you feel proud of the part you play in helping to deliver this vital first aid to donkeys, horses and other animals.
News from Gaza
Dr Saif told us:
“Animals in north Gaza have been suffering. These places have been inaccessible until now, and It’s tragic to see animals foraging for food in rubbish dumps, something never seen before the war.”
We aim to help more animals in the coming weeks, as our mobile team start to visit new areas since the ceasefire.
We are committed to helping deliver first aid to as many animals as we can. Our team are working tirelessly in Gaza and as soon as our shipment of animal food and meds arrive, our team will ramp up their support to provide even more care for animals in need.
Our team are providing treatment in the most challenging of environments
Donkeys are still absolutely vital to everyday life in Gaza
We may be a charity dedicated to helping donkeys, mules and horses, but our Gaza team will never turn away an animal needing first aid. Here you can see a few of the pets our team have helped too.

But there is hope. We have just heard that we may be able to get the veterinary meds and food into Gaza soon. we promise to update you as soon as we can, along with news of our plans for working in Gaza during 2025.
