Ailing lion relocated

Source: Shanghai Daily | March 20, 2016, Sunday | Print Edition

ISRAEL said it has recently transferred an ailing lion from the impoverished and blockaded Gaza Strip to a Palestinian zoo in the West Bank.

The lion was taken from a zoo in Rafah to the Erez crossing into Israel, said COGAT, a defence ministry body which coordinates Israeli activity in the Palestinian territories.

The lion was then driven to a zoo near Tulkarem in the West Bank, it said in a statement.

A COGAT spokeswoman said a Gaza agriculture ministry official had asked an Israeli counterpart for the transfer, at least on a temporary basis.

The previous year, three lions were also sent from the Gaza Strip to Jordan.
