It has been more than a year since the Israeli government initiated its disengagement from Gaza and northern Shomron, yet the Israeli citizens evacuated from their homes amidst the hope that peace would follow still await the resources they need to rebuild and relocate their lives.
These citizens created their communities with the strong encouragement of successive Israeli governments, building towns, schools, farms, and other infrastructure that were home to and otherwise served thousands of Israelis for dozens of years. As they seek to reestablish their lives, many evacuees are without permanent housing, stable jobs, or the resources necessary to fully rehabilitate themselves following the ordeals they experienced. With their communities, small businesses and farms destroyed, over a thousand remain unemployed, without sufficient resources to provide for their families, and thousands of others suffer from severe social and emotional disorders. This is an unfortunate humanitarian issue. These Israeli citizens need further assistance as they continue to rebuild their lives.
