Jerusalem Post: Lost Generation

It is a chilly, late Thursday night in downtown Jerusalem, and the mood among the teenage runaways hanging out there isn’t as weightless as usual. Recently there has been a run of tragedies. Between mid-February and early March, three young street people in the capital died – an 18-year-old hanged himself on the eve of being drafted, a 21-year-old deliberately electrocuted himself, and a 24-year-old was beaten to death in a fight. All three had run away from home and been on and off the streets for years, all had problems with drugs, alcohol and/or mental health.
