Animal aid during global conflicts
Israel-Hamas Conflict 🇮🇱 🇵🇸
In October 2023, violent conflict broke out after Hamas attacked Israel, and animals were abandoned as rockets struck and people fled for their lives. We knew that countless injured, terrified and forgotten animals would need our immediate help. We teamed up with fearless organizations on the ground – Let The Animals Live (LTAL) and our long-term partner Starting Over Sanctuary (SOS) in Israel, and Sulala Animal Rescue (SAR) and Animal Environment Association (AEA) in Palestine – to rush critical aid to animal war victims.
Dogs, cats, donkeys and other animals had been left without food, shelter or anyone to care for them. Working with emergency rescue teams and brave volunteers, we were able to rush food and supplies to animals trapped in war zones, evacuating as many as we could. As the brutal war wears on, our efforts to feed, shelter and evacuate thousands of animals continues, funded entirely by the compassion and generosity of Network for Animals supporters.
In a heartwarming example of what we can achieve when we work together, we were able to rehome 10 abused dogs from Palestine to their forever homes in the United States, helping to fund their relocation so they could live out the rest of their lives in safety.
We are continuing to support our partners throughout the conflict. In May 2024, we rushed emergency funds for crucial food and to support emergency evacuations from the war zones.
