It's an interesting slice-of-life piece, and I'll want to watch the film if I have an opportunity, but the site's making this sound unique to Tel Aviv, and the byline's mention of "hypocrisy and cruelty of Israeli society" seem to be pure editorializing and unsubstantiated by the article, neither word appearing in the article text.
At least the title does say "Doesn't Want to Be Saved From Sex Work, Drugs and Violence", which better represents the interviews with Eileen, who later goes on to tell:
> Once I was in private rehab, 17,000 shekels, and I left after two days. But I also told myself: Apparently it wasn't your time. To leave my world, to really move out of it, I would have to commit to that, to wanting to leave. And I don't want to leave.
This led me to seek objective measures of homelessness around the world now, and found [0] that Israel apparently has one of the lowest homelessness figures out there, at about 4.0 homeless individuals per 10k residents, as compared to e.g. 19.5 for the US, 56.1 for the UK, and 217.0 for New Zealand (and I'm intentionally ignoring war-torn countries, where this goes into the thousands).
