In the absence of state funding, northern residents build their own shelters
[IsraelTimes] With many in the north living in older homes without reinforced rooms, some residents spend small fortunes to construct fortified rooms as war with Hezbollah intensifies.The houses in the older neighborhoods, built before the 1990s, are not fortified, and the residents — either founding members or young renters — rely on communal shelters. Most of them, however, either won’t or can’t make it to the shelters with just seconds of warning. Meanwhile, some kindergartens need fortification, but the state only funds those under the auspices of the Education Ministry. Posted by: Skidmark 2024-10-21 |
