According to Neil Tilbury's Israel: A Travel Survival Kit, the population of Reshon-Le Tsion is 139,500 (1992, 259). Statistics on the number of Orthodox non-Orthodox Christians of Russian origin for the same period of time and information on the availability of community services to deal with the needs of the Russian population are currently unavailable to the DIRB.
This response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
