Palestinian refugees: educational program
Photo from UNRWA archives Where do Palestinian refugees come from? More than 5 million Palestinians around the world now have refugee status. This means that there are now more Palestinian refugees than Palestinians living in their homeland. About a third of these 5 million live in fifty-eight refugee camps in Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. According to some estimates, there are another 60,000 unregistered Palestinian refugees in Iraq and Egypt.
