Half of
the 140,000 Bedouin in the Negev are living in homes unrecognised by the
state, without water, electricity, sewage services, roads, schools and
medical clinics. All building is illegal in these villages, forcing
Bedouin families to live in tin shacks and tents that are unbearably hot
in summer and icy cold during the desert winter nights. (July 2002) |
