Italians Shelter 967 Egyptian Jews;
Largest Shipload Handled by JDC
NAPLES (JTA) -- The 9(67
Jewish refugees from Egypt
who arrived here Jan. 6 aboard
an Egyptian vessel under the
auspices of the International
Committee of the Red Cross
were provided with shelter and
other necessities by the Union
of Italian Jewish Communities.
Funds were provided by the
Joint Distribution Committee.
The immigrant will be housed
in Naples until plans for their
migration to other countries is
completed.
A JDC official told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency that the
party of 967 is the largest single
shipload of refugees ever
handled_ by JDC, not excepting
the immediate postwar years.
The Jewish Agency made ar-
rangements to take over care
of the 855 men, women and
children who left for Israel
Wednesday. Among the 967
Jews were 113 children under
the age of five. All but 17 of
the group were officially state-
less Jews, although most of
them had been born in Egypt.
The health of the refugees
appeared good, despite mistreat-
ment • suffered at the hands of
Egyptian police and jailers. Only
three were ambulance cases: a
woman over the age of 90; a
man with a paralyzed leg, and
a man suffering from shock as
a result of his expulsion ex-
periences:
Among the refugees were 78
men, heads of families, who
were taken directly from prison
or concentration camp to the
steamer without knowing what
had happened to their families.
Most of them found their fami-
lies already aboard.
A number of exiles spoke of
the miserable conditions under
which they had been imprisoned
and reported instances of bru-
tality and violence to which
they had been subjected or
which had been suffered by
people they knew. Many were
pessimistic about the possibility
of future violence against Jews
still in the country.
A good many reported that
all their goods, except a feW
personal possessibns and small
sums of money had been con-
fiscated or stolen by Egyptian
officials. P o l i c e and other
authorities were quite open in
their creation of ‘an atmosphere
of terror aimed at forcing a
mass exodus of Jews from
Egypt, they reported.
