Built of lightweight mate- rials and without sturdy foundations, many of the 15,000 prefabricated units were damaged by the storms' heavy rains and gale-force winds. In the worst cases, windows were shattered and doors ripped off their hinges. A few of the mobile homes began to list precariously as the cement blocks they lean- ed on shifted in the mud. Minor damage included leaky roofs and flooded passageways. Amidar, the government- owned company that has been charged with maintain- ing the parks, immediately went to work repairing the damage. Experts agree, however, that additional winter storms will cause further damage to the fragile struc- tures. In response to Mr. Sha- ron's charges of neglect, Housing Minister Binyamin Ben-Ari retorted, "If Ariel Sharon would come to the Knesset and hear what the members of his own Likud Party were saying about his caravan project, he would not dare open his mouth. "Purchasing the caravans was a terrible idea. The pre- sent government came into office with the problem al- ready in existence." The only thing to do now, Mr. Ben-Ari said, "is to try to maintain the structures to the best of our ability, and to move people into permanent housing as soon as possible." In the meantime, thousands of people residing in caravans are prey to the elements. At the Givat Hamatos Park, on the out- skirts of the capital, 300 families are ankle-deep in mud. Just three months old, the site has not yet been linked to the city's electrical supp- ly. When the portable ge- nerators break down — and they do so often — residents cannot use their electric heaters, their only source of warmth. "Sure, I'd love to have permanent apartment," sa Israeli-born Leah Amouy who moved to the carav park three weeks ago. " problem is, I can't afford rent a regular apartment." The divorced mother of 1 0-year-old daughte Amouyal has already turn her tiny caravan — whi measures just over 9 squa feet — into a real ho Every inch has a person touch: a poster, a favori tape, her daughter's stuff animals. "I think we'll here for two or three ye till I get on my feet fina cially." The token rent payme about $50 a month, co pared to the $550 she p for a two-bedroom apa ment in the city, does justify the sad state of t caravans, she asserts. " matter what a person pa whether it's a new im grant or a native-bo Israeli, he deserves to get dry, warm place to live." Huddled by an elect space heater, she shook head and added, "I'm st waiting." Vandals Attack Synagogue synago Paris (JTA) in the eastern French city Strasbourg was vandaliz by intruders who ransack its offices and scrawled an Semitic slogans on the wall Vandals sneaked into t Meinau synagogue a systematically smash whatever they could find the offices.
