JesushilfeAt the end of the 1893, there were 28 patients in the hospital, and at the end of 1898, there were 40 patients.The journalist Bakushta of the periodical Ha’Tzvi quoted the Turkish press according to which, in the whole of Palestine, there were more than 300 leprosy patients. In Silwan village, there were 15-20 patients; in Nablus, there was a leprosy home containing 10-15 patients. An equal number were in Ramle.The government supplied basic foodstuffs and water, but not medical assistance and the periodical added; "At Silwan the patients live in cramped quarters without division of the sexes." The government permitted begging for alms and this indeed was fairly successful in Jerusalem, each leprosy patient could accumulate a few Francs (sic) daily. However, all this was to no avail because eventually the patients were rejected and isolated and this not due to the law, because there were no governmental edicts regarding leprosy patients. However, the public at large reacted with disgust to the deformaties caused by leprosy.
