El-Hajj Mouhsen works in agriculture. A typical worker earns between 7 and 10 thousand Lebanese pounds per day. The women of the household work in the field gathering potatoes, cherries and grapes.
Sakra’s family obtains water from their private well. Unlike other wells in the village of حوش العرب, there are no waste trenches in its vicinity. The municipality collects 6-7000 Lebanese pounds monthly to provide waste collection services. The Bedouins try to make use of some wastes before disposing of them, for example carton boxes are kept. They collect wood from various sources to use it for heating.
Arab Abou Eid consider themselves the most worthy of holding the Lebanese citizenship. Members of this household have the citizenship except for Sheeha, since she was under the legal age (18) when the citizenship was granted to her family. Sheeha was named after a bitter herb the Bedouins used to drink to cure certain illnesses.
