AFP Rakan Silos rises early every Thursday and heads to a West Bank donkey shelter where he helps care for animals that still play an important role in daily Palestinian life.
Donkeys that did not attract a buyer at a weekly market in Nablus are brought to the shelter in nearby Rujayb, where Silos, a veterinarian, examines them “completely and free of charge.”
The shelter is run by the British charity Safe Haven For Donkeys, established in 2000 to care for working donkeys in Israel and the West Bank.
