her steady so her lamb can feed, Jan. 8, 1999, in his family's
encampment in Israel's Negev desert, near the town of Mitzpe Ramon. In
Israel's Negev desert and Egypt's Sinai peninsula, many Bedouin have
abandoned their traditional nomadic lifestyle and succumbed to
government efforts to settle them in established communities. But in
remote oases and hillside camps, some still cling to the wilder ways
of their forebears:raising goats, herding camels, cooking over open
fires and shunning town life. (AP Photo/Ruth Fremson)"
