VOICED : Bedouin face eviction as Israel builds

The video discusses the situation in Omahyra village in the northern Negev, home to around 150 families who rely on solar power. The Israeli government plans to relocate the Bedouins to make way for new Jewish communities, leading to legal disputes. The Bedouins have lived there since 1956, originally displaced in 1948.
