Oxfam Officer: Israel Killed Some 35.000 Palestinian Chickens in Gaza By Davut SAHIN (JTW)
Israeli Gaza attacks not only killed the people but also the animals of Gaza. Elena Qleibo, who works in the Gaza Strip as a Food Security and Livelihood Officer for Oxfam, reported yesterday that some 35,000 chickens were also killed during the bombardment and the price of eggs in Gaza went up. "Before the war, a kilo of eggs used to sell for 2.40 Euros (£2.20), now in some places people pay up to 5 euros (£4.60)" she added.
Elena Qleibo further said "there were non-exploded bombs in Jabalia, agricultural lands were completely devastated. In some places, the roads are so damaged it is impossible to move about by car. And sewage wastewater is still flowing down the streets".
That about sums up their army.
