Bimkom Responds to Government Recommendations for the Unrecognized Villages

Even in recognized villages residents cannot obtain building permits, and construction is considered illegal (including long-standing buildings and necessary services) . Infrastructure and services for basic needs are either altogether absent or substandard. Public services are severely lacking: the number of schools and classrooms is insufficient, there are very few kindergartens, despite the large number of young children in these communities, thus hampering women’s ability to work; and there are very few medical clinics.
