In war-battered Gaza, a small number of veterinary clinics remain open, offering limited services to pet owners who are struggling to care for animals amid escalating shortages. According to reports including photos from Gaza City, residents face difficulties feeding their animals and protecting them from disease. The clinics that are still operating do so while contending with severe lack of medicines, vaccines, and other essential supplies. With veterinary resources constrained, the ability to prevent or treat illness in pets is reduced, increasing the risk of outbreaks and worsening animal welfare. The reporting indicates that while veterinary care remains available at a small scale, it is not sufficient to meet demand across the territory. The accounts highlight how the ongoing conflict affects not only human health and basic needs but also access to animal health care, leaving owners with fewer options to maintain vaccinations and obtain treatments when animals become ill.
