(haipo) - Residents in the Kiryat Eliezer neighborhood report a homeless man who settled on the street where they live, walks around in minimal clothing and sleeps near buildings and yards. They turned to the municipality and the police to help them, but the problem was not solved and the homeless man returned to the street again and again and the residents were helpless.
"Six days ago I returned home and saw that someone had cleared out several objects, including beds," says a resident of the Bat Galim neighborhood in Haifa. "A homeless man came to ours (Efron St. 6) and used the beds to sleep here. We live near the entrance to the Faculty of Medicine and there are always security guards here, but it doesn't really change the situation."
The homeless man walks around here dressed very minimally, there are cases with a sheet covering his body. It also happens that the sheet falls off him and he just walks around naked in the middle of the street. Small children walk around here and are exposed to it. He goes around asking people for cigarettes."
"The homeless man sleeps in the garden of our building on Efron Street and on the sidewalk at the entrance to the buildings on the street. I took the beds and put them further away, but it doesn't matter, he stays on the street. There were times when he slept behind our garbage cans.
On Sunday 28/04/24, they came from the municipality and cleared all the garbage and the beds, but it didn't change anything, he moved to sleep 15 meters from the place where he slept until then. He found a blanket and slept covered in it at the entrance to one of the buildings. On Monday afternoon we called the police. A car arrived with a very professional policeman and he told us that even if we tell him to leave, he will return after an hour."
"One of the problems is that he defecates on the sidewalk. My heart aches for him, really, but letting him stay in the middle of the street is not a solution. With all the empathy, it has become a sanitary hazard. The trouble is that we feel that there is no one who can help in this matter."
Haifa Municipality's response:
The Haifa Municipality stated that immediately upon receiving the complaint, employees of the welfare department went to the scene in an attempt to locate the man and offer him assistance and a suitable roof. During the patrol conducted in the area, the man was not found, nor was there any evidence of Der Rehov's presence there.
The municipality added that they will continue to follow the matter and patrol the place with the aim of locating the man and convincing him to get assistance that will lead to his removal from the street.
The municipality was even asked to contact the residents and ask anyone who encounters the man to contact the welfare service (via the municipal hotline 106) in order to allow the welfare workers to reach the scene as quickly as possible.
Happy ending, for now...
Later in the late evening, an update came from the residents of the street that the municipal inspectors arrived again, treated the man and brought him to a shelter.
Provide him with a cream
Efron Street is in the Bat Galim neighborhood, not Kiryat Eliezer
All patients in Haifa
hahahahaha there was no evidence of his being there hahaha, yes oh Yuna, when you don't want to you don't see. You know the main thing about killing pigs in front of their puppies and children
The problem is not the welfare workers, who make the kingdom holy, we need to show compassion towards the person, help, and try to find a solution to his problem, nothing will happen, will you bring him some clothes to wear, or something to eat, I come in my many sins from this place, and I knows, and feels his distress.
A very well-known guy, hangs out with another girl who looks like him, and they sometimes collect alms at central intersections, including in Carmel (she's always crying inside), for at least three years. I really hope they will be helped somehow. About two weeks ago they were removed from a stairwell in Moria.
with little humanity
Bring food, maybe a garment to wear, I'm sure you don't wear everything in the closet
Especially when it's time to organize closets
And we find a lot of unworn spare parts
Poor. He should be helped
Unbelievable.
The enlightened residents of Bat Galim cannot tolerate the presence of a poor and weakened person.
Has anyone tried to talk to him? Maybe try to help instead of calling the authorities to deport him?
Dozens of street shops are found in Hadar and the lower city and many other places in Haifa, which is fine, but in Bat Galim? No way.
It doesn't really bother you that the man is poor, you only care that you don't have it in front of the poor.
Be poor somewhere else.
disgrace.
Raz, you are so right in every word, they were ashamed
Let them give him food
Maybe something to wear
It does not detract from their dignity
Tell me how cute you are to the person who shits on you on the street. They are not trying to murder him, they want him to get help
Since when is the Faculty of Medicine and Efron Street Kiryat Eliezer?
Minimal recognition of the city of Haifa is not harmful.
This is Bat Galim.
I don't make assumptions about what's going on with the guy, how he got to the situation, etc.,,,,
It's gossip and not to the point.
There must be proper enforcement
The police will forcibly take him to a place owned by the local authority, to a place where he will receive treatment and be held without the possibility of escape.
This is the solution
He will be held without the possibility of escape.. He is not a criminal, your thinking is crooked
Shame on you Meir
Today, with the return of Mr. Yahav
For the mayor, Borovski
Retired superintendent of the Israel Police
Establishing a new council in the city
There is no righteous man in Sodom
Get rid of the man? I am puzzled.
The lack of places for the homeless to live?
Father, I do not wish you to be, or feel, what the person feels when he is homeless, what do you want Yona Yahav to take him to his home, show some compassion towards the person
I don't understand why they don't help him from the country where we arrived
Hi therefore welfare services area 3. This guy must be treated and referred to a hospital, his condition is serious, he may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. A soldier from the war.
