150. The estimated population of Tel Aviv (municipal boundaries) by the end of 1945 is 170,000 so .that, on the figures given in table 13, the percentage of the population living in slum areas is 11.5%. It is, however, clear that, due to gross over-crowding and lack of proper sanitation, a much larger number of people in Tel Aviv is living under slum conditions. A feature of slum areas in Tel Aviv is the temporary hutments which have been occupied for at least ten years and are without exception unfit for human habitation if judged by normal housing standards.
