Delegations from Jewish villagers in serious economic difficulties in the Atlas Mountain region of Morocco are arriving in Casablanca to seek aid from Jewish organizations, the Jewish agency reported here today.
Information reaching the Agency spells out the near tragic situation of Jews in the smaller towns and villages of Morocco who are the victims of raids by their Moslem neighbors in the same towns. Some have been beaten, some have lost their homes and shops in attacks by mob and fire. In many cases, where there has been little or no open violence, the Jews are the victims of an economic boycott by the Arabs.
