Dubai is facing an animal welfare crisis in the wake of a series of Iranian missile strikes on the United Arab Emirates. As thousands of residents flee the country, rescue workers and veterinary clinics are reporting a sharp increase in abandoned and surrendered pets.
According to one X user, as thousands of expats and social media influencers leave Dubai for safety, many have reportedly left their animals behind. Hundreds of abandoned pets have been rescued after their owners fled to avoid the conflict.
