Beginning in April, as most Israelis are preparing their homes for the Passover seder, evictees from the former Gush Katif community of Netzarim will be wondering how they will feed their families.

Disengagement Authority officials on Monday announce that starting in April, any former Gush Katif resident not living in a temporary home will no longer receive food or food allowances. This will hit Netzarim residents particularly hard, since they are living in a dormitory building in Karnei Shomron, a facility which lacks kitchens or food preparation facilities.

At a town hall meeting on Saturday night, the despondent residents heard the bitter news, now wondering how they will continue to exist and how they will arrange a Passover seder for their families.

To further add to their bleak plight, some of the families will not receive a caravilla temporary prefabricated home since some of them settled in Judea and Samaria, leaving them without a living solution.

Shortly after settling into the dormitory arrangement, the refugee families were receiving meals from a catering service. Then, Disengagement Authority officials signed a deal with the community yeshiva, which has been preparing food for the families. Now, in accordance to the latest ruling, the funding to pay for the yeshiva service is coming to an abrupt halt, before the Passover holiday.
