All but three Jews of the Jewish community in French Somaliland have emigrated to Israel, and there are no Jews left in Italian and British Somaliland, according to information received here by the organization department of the World Jewish Congress.
A letter written by one of the three Jews remaining in French Somaliland to Dr. I. Schwarzbart, director of the W.J.C. organization department, reveals that the three have stayed in Djibouti in order to liquidate the affairs of their coreligionists after all other members of the community left for Israel. The letter appealed for funds they need to pay certain taxes, duties and other debts, and to enable the three to join their families in Israel.
