The situation of the 6,000 Jewish refugees who fled here from rioting in Jaffa and outlying districts caused concern today as money and food became scarce and requests for Government aid evoked no response.

Arabs fired two buildings and a synagogue in the Nevei Shalom section of Jaffa near the Tel Aviv border.
