Images show painfully thin lions at zoo in bomb-ravaged Gaza

Horrifying images of painfully thin lions and emaciated monkeys starving to death in a war-torn zoo have been released today.

Lions, monkeys and parrots have been struggling to find food and medical treatment at Rafah Zoo in the southern Gaza strip, 12 weeks into 's offense on the region.

Some animals have already died due to starvation and others continue to live under harsh conditions whilst dozens of destitute Palestinians are camping between their cages in the private zoo, run by the Gomaa family.
