The state does not intend to finance the holiday meal for the evacuees. The cost of a Seder night meal at the hotel ranges from NIS 400 to NIS 1,300 per person.

"I feel as if no one cares about us, they threw us here and forgot," says one evacuee. In response, the Ministry of Tourism says that they are in dialogue with the hotels on the issue. "Give even NIS 100 per person and we will do the rest, they deserve a holiday feeling," says a hotel CEO.
