Close clinic caring for refugees in Israel
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's Health Ministry has withdrawn its funding for a private clinic that offers treatment at a symbolic price to refugees in the city of Tel Aviv, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported. Since 2010, the clinic, known as Trim, has been providing treatment and first aid services to refugees in the city. The newspaper said that the clinic will stop working within a month because of the Israeli Ministry of Health to stop funding for them, for reasons not mentioned by the newspaper. Israel has some 35,000 African migrants, most of them Eritreans, and local authorities impose restrictions on them because they are unable to secure their economic, health and educational conditions and because they are unable to meet residency requirements, which require them to leave the country.
