Plans by the Israeli government to develop the Negev desert are threatening the unique way of life of Palestinian Bedouins.
Many families will be forced to resettle into government-designated towns.
Israel says the development of the land will provide public services.
However, the majority of Bedouin say they do not want to leave their ancestral homeland.
