Eighty-five juveniles and 20 younger children among the survivors of the refugee ship Patria, which was sunk by an explosion in Haifa harbor last November, have been released from the Athlit internment camp after the Youth Aliyah organization assumed responsibility for their support and education, the Youth Aliyah announced here today.
The children will remain under Youth Aliyah’s care until they are able to look after themselves. The older children will immediately begin two years of agricultural training and the younger ones will first be given a general education.
