There's little to do for entertainment for Gaza's 1.4 million residents because of a two-year Israeli and Egyptian blockade, and the territory's zoos became a popular form of past time. In 2008 the Marah Zoo was a fully functioning zoo, but during Israel's January offensive, 90 percent of the animals died. Due to restrictions of the Israeli and Egyptian blockade - new animals can not be obtained - unless they are transported through the tunnels. As a result, there are not as large a variety of animals as before, but Gazans still flock to the zoo, due to the lack of sources of entertainment in the Gaza Strip.
