Animals in the West Bank urgently need our help

Support our veterinarians with a donation for medical supplies.

As violence continues across the West Bank, more and more animals are left injured, sick or abandoned, with little or no access to veterinary care.

Every month, our team treats around 100 animals that would otherwise have nowhere to turn.

The Animal Heroes Emergency Clinic in Jenin

Since March 2025, we have been running a free emergency veterinary clinic in Jenin, one of the most dangerous areas in the West Bank.

Our colleague Mohammad, a fifth-year veterinary student, provides urgent medical care to sick and injured animals and helps carry out sterilisations. He works under the supervision of Dr. Joyce Hofman and her veterinary team in Amsterdam.

Together with Bethlehem University, we also teach children about animal welfare.

Beyond Jenin, we work closely with local animal rescuer Diana Babish, who runs the only registered shelter for dogs and cats in the area, and with partner clinics to provide veterinary care to animals across the West Bank.

Every euro makes a difference

On average, veterinary treatment costs €60 per animal.

Our veterinary team works entirely voluntarily, but we still need to pay for medicines, food, medical supplies and sterilisations. Our partner clinics also offer us their lowest possible rates.

With your support, we can keep our clinic running and continue helping animals that have no one else to turn to.

Every donation, big or small, helps us save lives.

Animal Heroes is an international emergency aid organisation for animals, based in Amsterdam. We support local animal heroes — people who care for animals in the most difficult circumstances — with fast and efficient emergency aid.

We go where the need is greatest — into the heart of crises, conflict and disaster, to places that are often inaccessible to most. In some of the darkest places on earth, we stand alongside the people who refuse to leave animals behind, bringing emergency aid when it matters most.

We have carried out emergency aid missions in war zones and following earthquakes, floods, and wildfires in Gaza, Lebanon, The Westbank, Ukraine, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Greece, Uganda, Venezuela, and Nepal.

We also run permanent emergency clinics in Gaza and the West Bank, where we provide animals with medical care and support local animal heroes in their life-saving work.

Since the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, we have traveled to the West Bank three times. We only travel when it is necessary for our emergency aid projects.

Yes, we have now spent over €100,000 on emergency aid for animals in the West Bank and will continue to support the animals for as long as necessary.

Unfortunately, that is not possible because the transport costs are too high and it is unsure if it can pass the border. We purchase food locally, which is more economical and also saves us transport costs.

In that case, your donation will be used for food and/or medical assistance for animals in the West Bank via Diana Babish or other veterinarians with whom we collaborate locally.

At Animal Heroes, we work exclusively with volunteers who do not receive financial compensation. We also have no offices and do not send printed materials to our donors. As a result, our overhead costs are extremely low.

We do, however, have fixed costs for maintaining our website, software licenses, and bank fees. A maximum of 15% of donations may be used to cover ongoing costs, including administration, project expenses, and bank fees.

However, looking at our track record, we have been able to allocate 90% to 100% of donations to emergency aid, as our fixed costs are usually covered by sponsors.

Yes, we are a registered charity with ANBI status based in Amsterdam. We also have an operational office in Italy and an international team consisting of 28 professionals from ten different countries who devote their free time to helping animals in need.
