Um Ahmad is a widow and mother of six children, one of whom is severely disabled, and wheelchair bound. She lives just inside the entrance to Beit Iksa village- East Jerusalem in a small tent, a small house made from Zinco (corrugated metal), and a small animal pen where Um Ahmad keeps her goats, dog, and donkey. The area lacks basic services such as paved roads, running water, and electricity. The occupation prohibit the Bedouins from building homes from stones or developing their communities. They face the constant fear that their homes might be demolished, and that the occupation forces will expel them again to an unknown place.
