Study: 850,000 Children Live in Poverty in Israel
Some 1.77 million people live in poverty in Israel, of them more than 850,000 children, according to an “alternative poverty report” published by the non-profit organization Latet.
The organization found in its 2010 study that 75% of impoverished individuals in Israel forgo meals due to their financial situation, a 21% rise from 2009.
