Poll Reveals Support For Northerners
Half of all Israeli households in the southern part of the country provided aid to their neighbours in the north during the Lebanon conflict, a new survey has revealed.
The poll, conducted by the Israel Centre for Third Sector Research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, looked into the various ways Israeli citizens reacted to the war.

Of those who donated to northern families, one-third gave money while two-thirds contributed food, equipment and other necessities.
However, the study found discrepancies between the testimony of those who said they helped northerners and that provided by the recipients of that aid.
There was a far greater number of southerners who said they had hosted northern families than there were northerners who said they had been put up by southern households.
