The Taxidermied Zoo
This is a bit like something out of a Philip K. Dick novel -- The Dream Park El Janoob Zoo in the Gaza Strip can no longer afford to display live animals. And it's difficult to import animals into Gaza. So the zoo owner has decided to display taxidermied animals. An advantage of this is that zoo visitors can pet the animals, without having their limbs torn off, as might happen with live animals. Link: Al Arabiya

You can blame the Israeli government for this one; they have gone out of their way to make life in Gaza impossible. So that's why you get a fake zoo full of fake animals.

That must be why Gaza looks so impoverished here:
