Poverty on the Rise Among “Israelis”: Ynet
Local Editor
The Zionist entity continues to lag behind in its level of poverty and income gaps, according to the National Insurance Institute's annual poverty report, published on Thursday.
According to the report, 442,200 Israeli families (1,838,600 people) live below the poverty line, including 860,900 children.
The most surprising finding was the sharp rise in poverty rates among families with two incomes or more - a population that was traditionally considered immune to poverty - a rise of over 2% from 2010.
