Plight of Palestinian refugees worsening in most parts of Middle East  

Written by Haitham Sabbah on 25. June 2007, 0933hrs // Part of Haitham Sabbah's adventure in Middle East, Palestine // Other posts by Haitham Sabbah


Some 4.4 million Palestinians remain refugees nearly 60 years after the start of the 1948 war. About one third of these refugees still live inside camps. Examples of conditions in various countries: Jordan hosts about 1.8 million Palestinian refugees including some 130,000 people who fled from Gaza in 1967. These refugees, as opposed to most Palestinians in Jordan, are not citizens, and therefore face restrictions on access to higher education and jobs. There are about 50,000 Palestinian refugees in Egypt who are not registered with UNRWA. They cannot attend public schools and are not allowed to work. Palestinians in Lebanon face a particularly difficult situation, as local law places extreme limitations on their employment opportunities, basically preventing most refugees from working in the camps, aid workers said. Palestinians in Iraq are facing an extreme crisis. “Syria is an example for other host countries. Here there is no discrimination, we get the same treatment.
