An independent association to assist Israeli communities in planning services for care of the aged has been set up by Malben, the Joint Distribution Committee institution for the aged in Israel, with a five year, $8.6 million budget. The chairman of the association noted that the percentage of aged over 65 has jumped in the last ten years from 4.5 to 6.5 and is expected to reach eight percent of the population by 1980.
