General site condition
The cemetery has been neglected for years. It's overgrown with bushes and trees. There are two tombstones and many pieces of matzevot. Matzevot were used as building foundations, as pavements and abrasive discs. Soil (with bones) was also taken away from the cemetery to build local roads. There is some rubbish in the bushes. A new fence would make it possible to clearly define the boundaries of the cemetery.
