‘25% of Gaza Evacuees Lack Housing'[and More]
Excerpts:
“Five months since they were evacuated from their Gaza homes this summer, 25 percent of the former residents are still living in hotel rooms, dormitories and tents, according to a new report released Sunday by the non-profit group Lema’an Acheinu, which has been assisting the evacuees.”
“According to the report, more than 50% have yet to receive any compensation funds, and only 5.7% of the 2,100 people who lost their jobs have found new ones. ”
“Meanwhile, State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss on Sunday postponed publication of the first of his three reports on the government’s handling of the disengagement from Gaza. The report deals with the protection of the settlements that ring the Gaza Strip and are vulnerable to Kassam and mortar attacks.”
Land of Israel Legal Forum Demands Comptroller’s Report be Released
Excerpts;
“Nachi Ayal, Secretary-General of the Land of Israel Legal Forum, slammed the decision to prevent the released of the State Comptroller’s report on government corruption and the Gaza withdrawal, as well as the protection of Gaza-region communities, due to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s hospitalization.”
“The Land of Israel Legal Forum says that while it wishes the prime minister a full recovery, there is no reason that such considerations should interfere with justice being served for the thousands of citizens removed from their homes in Gaza and northern Samaria.”
