About
The Gaza Zoo (Arabic: حديقة حيوان غزة) was a leisure complex, series of public gardens, children's amusement park and zoo in the Gaza Strip created by the government of Gaza in the spring of 2010 on government property that was formerly a garbage dump. It closed in 2016.
There also is or was a small private zoo, known as Marah Land Zoo located off Salahadin Street (also spelt "Salah Al Deen") in the Gaza City district of Zeitoun. The zoo's animals, like the local people, have suffered as a result of the difficulties in Gaza and the zoo has featured often in reports by the international media. The zoos were badly damaged during the Gaza wars of 2008–2009 and 2023.
