Is Rehovot Market a Disaster? Shocking video

How hygienic is the Rehovot market food? Well. Watch Rehovot.tv video reporting below, decide yourself. The video was taken on Day 1 (of 3) of the operation of the substitution of the market asbestos roof and other construction parts early this week. Yesterday evening (Nov 15, 2007) the market resumed operation and looked respectable. What stays behind this respectability remains a big question.

“It is very sad that this place where eatables are being sold is not maintained with a degree of a deserved cleanliness. While we use this place to buy vegetables, others can use this place as a food waste spot or toilet”, Rehovot pedestrian told My Rehovot, noting stacks of waste vegetables next to the market and blaming Municipality for not removing garbage in time. She added that though she and her friends come to purchase vegetables often, the place is very unclean. Many Rehovot residents stopped visiting Rehovot market because of the hygienics concerns.

During the removal of the asbestos parts of the market construct, many vendors continued to sell vegetables and fruites at the parking lot located next to the "shuk" (Market, Hebrew), meters away from Rehovot City Mall and the Municipality premises.

Meanwhile, poorly covered vegetables and fruites remained on the market shelves, accumulating kilos of asbestos and other type dust (watch videos avove). These eatables apparently were consumed by Rehovot residents after re-opening of the Market.

New Rehovot market construction, to be build at the spot of the ancient present one, was widely publicized during the municipality election campaign few years ago. Apparently it is not on the City Council agenda now.
