      Knesset Panel Hears Dismal Report on Expulsion Victims


      The Knesset is discussing at this hour a dismal report on the status of victims of the government expulsion from their Jewish communities destroyed two years ago as part of the former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Disengagement Plan.

      The unemployment rate of Gush Katif families is twice as high as it was before the expulsion, and most of the families have no idea when they will be able to move into permanent homes. Knesset Members heard reports of a high dropout rate from schools, drug dependency and depression that has led to suicidal tendencies.
