For several days now, online people have been sharing photos, videos, and posts highlighting an animal rescue center in the Gaza Strip, one that has been restoring animals' ability to move after injuries.
Despite hard living conditions in Gaza, which has been under Israeli military siege since 2007, Saeed El-Aer has established the Sulala Animal Rescue, in which he rescues stray animals, treats the injured ones, and keeps them warm and safe.
Saeed who has started this shelter in 2018 has also been putting extra effort into treating disabled animals, providing them with unique kinds of limbs so they can move around again.
