Government Approves Payment for Independent Evacuation Residents
In a significant development, the government has announced its approval to provide financial compensation to all residents who independently evacuated from settlements that were marked for evacuation. This decision was made as part of various government resolutions concerning the matter.
Under this new policy, individuals who evacuated from these areas without any assistance from local authorities or government ministries will be eligible for compensation. The amount of compensation is set at NIS 200 per adult and NIS 100 per child (up to the age of 18) per day. This payment will be retroactive from the day the decision to evacuate the area was made.
The Ministry of Finance will determine the payment mechanism, which will be based on the resident’s request to confirm that they are not in the designated city or settlement and have arranged alternative accommodation independently. The submission process to receive the payment will soon be opened on the official government website, gov.il. Once approved, the compensation will be disbursed by the National Insurance within a few days.
This financial aid aims to alleviate some of the burden faced by residents who had to make their own arrangements during the evacuation process. While the government has taken initiative in assisting with evacuation solutions, it acknowledges the importance of compensating those who chose alternative options, such as staying with friends or relatives, rather than opting for hotels or other designated facilities provided by the government.
The government hopes that this compensation package will provide some relief to the affected individuals and their families as they navigate through these challenging times. By extending this support, the government aims to demonstrate its commitment to ensuring the well-being of all its citizens during times of crisis.
Residents are encouraged to visit the official gov.il website in the upcoming days to submit their applications for compensation. The government remains committed to addressing the aftermath of the evacuation and providing the necessary support to affected individuals and communities.
