Israelis receving State financial aid nonetheless poor

A senior source in Israel says some 100,000 families are on brink of collapse despite the regime's financial assistance.

Investigators from of the Israeli insurance institute (NII) determined that the living stipends the state grants – income support, income supplement, and child allowances – cover only half of expenses needed for the right for dignified subsistence.

The data, posted this week under the NII's yearly report, referred to the term dignified subsistence as an equivalent to the Israeli poverty line.

The report showcased a frightening reality of the depth of poverty and the collapse of social welfare in Israel.
