Palestinian Bedouin (the plural form of Bedouin can be Bedouin or Bedouins) are a nomadic people who have come to form an organic part of the Palestinian people, characterized by a semi-pastoral and agricultural lifestyle. Originating from the Bi’r as-Saba’/Beersheba region in Southern Historical Palestine, Palestinian Bedouin are now predominantly concentrated in the South (al-Naqab/Negev and Gaza Bedouin), the North (al-Jalil/Galilee Bedouin) and in the West Bank. Bedouins have lived in the Negev region, stretching from Gaza to the Dead Sea, since at least the fifth century.[1] Remnants of Bedouin communities in the Gaza Strip include 5,000 individuals in Om al-Nasr, as of 2022.[2] However in the Gaza strip, the number of nomadic Bedouin is shrinking and many are now settled.[3]
