The child would have crossed the fenced enclosure of the zoo through a breach in the fence
A six-year-old boy died on Monday following being attacked by a lion at the zoo in the city of Khan Yunes in the Gaza Strip. He was taken to hospital and died of his injuries a short time later.
While the police have launched an investigation to clarify the circumstances of the tragic incident, the first reports published in the Palestinian media indicate that the child, named Hamada Nidal Hassan Aktit, crossed the fenced enclosure of the zoo through a breach in the fence , and was allegedly attacked by the lion as it approached its enclosure. Photos and videos posted on social networks indeed show a breach in the fence and blood smeared on the lion’s cage. Local police have announced the closure of the zoo until the end of the investigation.
