At least 200 immigrants from Ethiopia on Tuesday began a march from the Bet Alpha Absorption Center in Bet Shean to Yerushalayim, protesting their living and absorption conditions.

Last month a similar march was held as the community of Jews, immigrants from Ethiopia, continue efforts towards obtaining a larger share of the budgetary pie to meet the needs of their community, which has a disproportionate rate of unemployment, poor educational standards and other trends synonymous with the underprivileged.
