A total of 2,122 Hungarian revolt refugees found permanent new homes in Israel, the Inter-Governmental Committee for European Migration reported today.
The organization, in disclosing that the last of the Hungarian refugees would be on their way to new homes by the end of 1958, did not give a breakdown on the number of Jews among the 9, 000 who registered with the ICEM for resettlement.
