The very welcome spreadsheet has statistics regarding the residents of institutions for people with disabilities which are under the Ministry's supervision. Tallies and dates for residents who were quarantined, ill with the virus and passed away from it are all there.
I'll cut to the chase: Twenty-one residents had succumbed to the virus as of November 25, 2020. One was from Aleh Gedera and a second from Aleh Negev.
Why is this being concealed from the public?
In the meantime the apparent fist-fight between Aleh and the newly created ADI shows no sign of resolution. So, if you go to Aleh's Facebook page and click on the words "Updated website address", you will not arrive at Aleh. Instead you reach an ADI site about its two institutions: ADI Jerusalem and ADI Negev Nahalat Eran.

You'll also see plenty of adulatory words about and photos of Doron Almog.
If you return to that Facebook page and click on "Aleh has updated their info in the About section", you'll arrive at a page telling you in Hebrew: "The requested page cannot be found"
I'm sure there's a simple explanation for the chaos - which I'm eager to know already.
The crucial question is: How is this upheaval affecting the children in Aleh and ADI's care? And will it reduce government funding of those institutions?
Are we, perhaps, on the cusp of the start of deinstitutionalization of children with disabilities in Israel?
Praying we are.
