Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced the allocation of NIS 50 million to Holocaust survivors living in Israel.
The decision was announced on Sunday to coincide with Yom Hashoah.
"We have a deep obligation to the elderly in general and to Holocaust survivors in particular. First of all to their welfare and also to their security," he told the cabinet during the weekly meeting.
"These people survived the horrors of the Holocaust. They participated in Israel's wars. They built the state of Israel.
