>> Israel has destroyed nearly all animal wealth in the Gaza Strip, approximately 97 per cent, through bombing and systematic starvation, including working animals that served as the last means of transport amid fuel shortages and limited public mobility.

Assumed numbers up to October 2023:

• around 6,500 poultry farms that supplied about three million chickens to the local market each month
• approximately 15,000 cows
• around 60,000 sheep and 10,000 goats
• approximately 20,000 donkeys, along with several horses and mules used as working animals

>> Israel’s extermination of livestock is part of a systematic policy to enforce starvation and dismantle the foundations of survival.
