Jewish woman seeks to return to Yemen
A young man who was sort of kidnapped from Yemen & eventually
reached Israel has not seen his mother in 12 years. When he joined
the border guard, his friends made an effort to surprise him and
managed to bring his mother from Yemen. the reunion was a joyfull,
tearfull event, the sort where in story books would end in
"and they lived happily ever after".
Unfortunately we live in the real world.
Since Israel has no coordinated plan for bringing in Jews from
Yemen, the poor woman was not offered the financial assistance
which immigrants from Russia or Ethiopia are given.
For the past year she's been living with distant relatives, growing
more and more distraught, and now begs whomever might listen
to give her a ticket back to Yemen.
