Young camels at the site of a recently demolished Bedouin village. The pace of demolitions of Bedouin villages by the authorities has increased substantially over the past couple of years. In many cases the residents are offered no viable alternative solution. In this case, at a village in Wadi al-Khalil, 47 homes, as well as animal pens and other structures were demolished over a single morning, leaving dozens of families with no roof, and many of their livestock wandering dazed among the ruins and orphaned orchards and groves planted by the now displaced residents.
