Israeli attacks in the West Bank forced 20 Palestinian families to migrate

In the statement made by the Palestinian non-governmental organization Bedouin Rights Defense Organization (BEYDER), information provided by activist Said Feyyad from the field regarding the situation in Ras al-Ahmer, where 47 Palestinian Bedouin families who were exposed to Israeli attacks are located, was included.

In the statement, it was stated that 20 of the Bedouin families living in the Ras al-Ahmer region in the Jordan Valley were forced to migrate as a result of the attacks of the Israeli army and the Israelis who usurped Palestinian lands.

The 27 families remaining in the region were subjected to attacks and pressures carried out almost every day; It was noted that they were threatened to leave their place of residence on Friday.

The entrance of water and animal feed to the area where Bedouin families live is prevented; It was stated that these restrictions forced the Palestinians to meet their basic needs and protect their livelihoods.

It was emphasized that livestock farming is one of the main sources of income of the residents of the region, and it was noted that blocking water and feed supply increases the economic burden on families and weakens the ability to stay here.

It has been warned that more residents may be forced to leave the settlement in the coming days and the families left behind may lose their homes and livelihoods.

In previous news in the Palestinian press, it was stated that the Bedouin community, consisting of 47 families living in the Ras al-Ahmer region, was in danger of forced displacement due to the blockade imposed by the Israeli army and the Israelis who usurped Palestinian lands and the blocking of access to pastures.

The Israeli army also closed the roads leading to the Ras al-Ahmer region about a month ago, completely cutting off the connection of 47 Palestinian families with the outside world for almost a week.
