- About 20 families forcibly displaced from Shalal al-Ouja Bedouin community near Jericho, West Bank.
- Displacement linked to repeated settler attacks and lack of protection.
Around 20 families were forced to leave the northern area of the Shalal al-Ouja Bedouin community north of Jericho, West Bank on Thursday, following a surge in repeated settler attacks and direct threats.
Hassan Mlihhat, general supervisor of the Al-Bidar Rights Organization said they abandoned their homes and sources of livelihood out of fear for their safety amid a lack of protection.
Mlihhat added that these actions are part of a systematic policy of pressure and intimidation aimed at emptying the area of its original residents.
“The situation in Shalal al-Ouja reflects a deliberate campaign of forced displacement targeting Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley,” he said, describing it as a serious violation of international humanitarian law and human rights.
