Bedouin families in the West Bank village of Ras 'Ein al 'Auja are being forced to abandon their homes due to escalating violence from Israeli settlers. The semi-nomadic community, already vulnerable due to limited law enforcement, has seen about half its families flee in recent months, dismantling their homes and livestock pens. Settlers have diverted water sources and brought their own herds to compete for grazing land, making it increasingly difficult for Bedouins to sustain their traditional way of life. Despite promises from Israeli authorities to curb the violence, local residents say the attacks continue, leaving them with no safe place to go and threatening the survival of their culture and identity.
