On August 20, 1948, the Jewish National Fund called for building a settlement on some of the village lands, and on January 6, 1949, Yas ' ur, a kibbutz, was established.
In 1950, the moshav of Ahihud was inaugurated on the western village lands.
According to Walid Khalidi, one of the schools, two shrines for local sages, and three houses remained standing today.
One of the shrines is made of stone and has a dome.
Most of the structures stand amid cactuses, weeds, olive and fig groves, and mulberry trees.
Most of al-Birwa's inhabitants fled to the nearby Arab towns and villages including Tamra, Kabul and other localities.
Some fled to Lebanon, and ended up in the Shatila refugee camp, Beirut, where Palestinian historian Nafez Nazzal interviewed them in 1973.
