A local volunteer working with the international animal welfare charity “Four Paws” feeds a lion with a dead bird as he gives treatment to animals which were abandoned in the Mumtaz al- Nour zoo in eastern Mosul on February 21, 2017. Most of the animals in the Mumtaz al- Nour zoo were killed or died of starvation during the recent offensive by Iraqi forces to retake the eastern part of the city from Islamic State (IS) group fighters.
