Bedouin FactsheetMIFTAH - The Bedouins in the West Bank, like thousands of other Palestinians, were forced from their original homes in 1948. Unlike many other Palestinians, they decided to settle in the more isolated areas in the east so that their livestock would have room to graze. Hoping to continue their traditional way of life, as they had done for thousands of years, the Bedouin people relied on their pastoral ability. However, in the last decade this has proved almost impossible to sustain. There are now 40,000 Bedouin people living in the West Bank comprising of around 5,000 families. Of those, 2,000 are living in refugee camps in Areas A and B. The other 3,000 families live in Area C. 5/5/2011
