The Emergency Teams that are now successfully operating in the unrecognized Bedouin localities were established by AJEEC due to significant need and the understanding that the routine life in an unrecognized village is characterized by constant emergencies. Lack of infrastructure, environmental hazards, forced home demolitions, lack of protection from missile fire, high infant mortality rates, diseases, and chronic birth defects are just a partial list of the elements that make up the painful, problematic, and vulnerable reality of the Bedouin society. This reality directly affects the physical health of the residents of the unrecognized villages and their ability to acquire education, integrate into the labor market, and function as active citizens in society.
