Palestinian refugee camps
Palestinian refugee camps were first established to accommodate Palestinians who were displaced by the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight during the 1948 Palestine war. Camps were established by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. A subsequent wave of Palestinian refugees were created in the Naksa after the Six-Day War in 1967.[1]
There are 68 Palestinian refugee camps in total, 58 official and 10 unofficial,[2] ten of which were established after the Six-Day War while the others were established in 1948 to 1950s.
Only a third of registered Palestinian refugees live within the boundaries of the refugee camps.[3] Most have integrated socially and economically outside the camps.[4] Many live in adjacent geographic areas. [5]
The number of registered Palestine refugees grew from 750,000 in 1950 to around 5 million in 2013.[6]
