Some 3,000 Bedouins live currently in what is termed “Diaspora,” “unrecognized villages,” or “unregulated settlements”, in about 25 settlements throughout the Galilee. Despite the fact that these villages existed prior to the establishment of the State of Israel, most of the inhabitants are still living without an infrastructure of roads, electricity and water, and without basic health and educational services. Only few Bedouin villages in the Galilee have been recognized, and the prolonged struggle of the Bedouins continues.
