Water Access - details
Until 2004, the inhabitants of the pastoral communities used the Ein al-Hilweh sping, as well as other surrounding springs, for themsekeves and their cattle. Today the area is over populated and the water from the Ain al-Hilweh spring are insufficient. The IDF has prevented the residents from using the remaining springs, so they now transfer water in tanks from the village of Bardala for high prices.
Electric Connection - details
Residents have recently been able to get support from an institution with the help of the council of Almalih to get solar energy, but these cannot support large machines such as refrigerators. A new project was offered and rejected by the communities as they were asked for commitment of a 50 NIS for maintenance.
Health Care
- permanent clinic in community
- clinic in distant town/village
Health Care - details
A mobile clinic used to visit the community twice a week but stopped arriving in 2018. The nearest clinics and hospital are in Tubas. (The Bedouin families refuse to let their women go to the mobile clinic that stops on the main road as it is unaccepted for women to access cars for check and stand in queue on the main roads).
