Germany has announced that it will offer a one-time payment of $236 (€220) to 113,000 Holocaust survivors in Israel to assist them in dealing with the aftermath of the recent Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel. The total compensation amounting to $27 million (€25 million) will be distributed to the survivors, as confirmed by the German finance ministry.
A spokesperson from the German finance ministry highlighted the challenges faced by many Holocaust survivors following the attacks, including the loss of homes and support systems. The additional funds are intended to provide swift assistance to the survivors during what has been described as a 'frightening and hopeless war situation.'
