Southern District
Of the approximately 1,054,000 people living in the South District, around 172,000 are Arabs. The Arab population lives primarily in the northwestern Negev and is entirely composed of Bedouins. Several towns in the area are not formally recognized by the government and do not receive basic utilities from the state (see unrecognized villages). The largest Arab locality in the Negev is Rahat.

Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or district:
“I sometimes wonder that we can be so frivolous ... as to attend to the gross but somewhat foreign form of servitude called Negro Slavery, there are so many keen and subtle masters that enslave both north and south. It is hard to have a southern overseer; it is worse to have a northern one; but worst of all when you are the slave-driver of yourself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
