Why Gaza’s donkeys are crucial to the war: People continue to care for the animals despite enormous suffering

Donkey carts dominate the street scene in Gaza more than ever: since the war broke out, Gazans have desperately needed their ‘donkey carts’. Animal lovers take to the streets to take good care of the donkeys that are still alive – despite the scarcity. According to animal organizations, more animals have already died than people. One of the most beloved working donkeys is ‘Almond’, who, together with his owner, delivers free drinking water in the neighborhood.
