Palestine are. very high. Our highest achievers are often not able to compete with the highest achievers from cities where they do not face any of the. issues we deal with on a daily basis. Scholarship systems do exist, but city children always win them because they are results based and make no account for the conditions we live in or for minority representation. Access to health services is also very scant. Mobile health services in Area C are limited and do not address secondary health for which we have to travel to urban centres. Without health insurance these services are expensive and many Bedouin now cannot afford the cost of the transport to seek a consultation, let alone to pay 'for treatment. Without regular access to adequate health services and higher education we have little chance to compete in the West Bank labour market. These constraints are compounded by the historical discrimination that we face from the Palestinians in the labour market because we are both `Bedouin' and 'refugees'. While Bedouin are a minority group in other countries in the region, the situation we experience in the West Bank is unparallel. In Jordan, for example, the government runs a scholarship system which includes places for Bedouin living in difficult conditions. In the West Bank this does not exist. We have no realistic chance to develop alternative coping strategies if we continue to be marginalised by both the Occupying Power and by the Palestinian Authority. As a minority group stuck between two separate legal and policy systems we carry the plight of double marginalisation; we are Bedouin, we are refugees and as residents of Area C we remain on the periphery of social security, service provision and economic systems of both Israel and Palestine.
