The Jews of Tripolitania, liberated from the Axis, today appealed to the Jews National Council of Palestine to send them teachers for 2,000 children or any Jewish educational facilities. The appeal also asks the Council to arrange for the transportation from Tripolitania to Palestine of forty Jewish war orphans.
Emphasizing that Jewish life in Tripolitania is still disorganized, the appeal asks the Jewish National Council to send a social worker to reorganize the Jewish institutions which were closed down by the Axis and were reopened after the British Army entered Tripolitania. The appeal states that the Zionist movement has not yet been recognized by the British administration in Tripolitania.
