Only two pet clinics remain open in Gaza while supplies of veterinary medicines and animal food continue to decline, Al Jazeera reported on June 13. Animal owners have turned to improvised methods to maintain their pets' health as access to professional care shrinks.
Veterinarians in the territory stated that deaths among pets and other animals will increase unless fresh stocks of medicines and feed arrive soon.
The two clinics still functioning represent the last formal veterinary facilities available to residents, according to the same report. Critical items such as medications, vaccines, and specialized pet food have become scarce, leaving owners with limited options for treating illness or injury.
Vets cited the dwindling inventory as the direct cause of rising concern over animal welfare in the weeks ahead.
