Alaa is struggling to bring in food for the animals every day, but he can’t do it alone. Rescue organizations are not capable (or willing) to enter the war zone to help out.
Alaa is the only person brave enough to risk it all for these poor creatures. Alessandra Abidin, a friend of Alaa’s, said that they are working to get the surviving animals moved to Turkey.
But that will take a lot of work and time. Time that these animals don’t really have. These animals have been suffering for six years.
Something needs to be done. If you want to help, ask to join the II Gattaro D’Aleppo Facebook group; you will get regular updates there.
