Statistical data and estimates of the size of this population have been updated in accordance with figures from the end of 2011. For the first time this edition includes an opinion poll surveying Palestinian refugees on specific humanitarian services they receive in the refugee camps. The need to overview and contextualize Palestinian refugees and (IDPs) - 64 years since the Palestinian Nakba (Catastrophe) and 45 years since Israel’s belligerent occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip - is derived from the necessity to set the foundations for a human rights- based approach through which a just and durable peace can be achieved. Not only do Palestinian refugees and IDPs constitute the largest and longest-standing unresolved case of refugees and displaced persons in the world today, but their numbers continue to grow in light of Israel’s policies and practices, resulting in more forcible displacement of Palestinians on both sides of the 1949 Armistice Line (in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory [oPt]). This Survey endeavours to address the lack of information, misrepresentation of, or misinformation about Palestinian refugees and IDPs. The editors of this survey undertook a professional review of the methodology used to determine and/or estimate, as accurately as possible, the current Palestinian refugee and IDP population. The editors reviewed and updated existing statistical data, including findings from the 2007 census conducted in the oPt by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS); latest reports and statistics of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA); and the best available data published by host countries and other international and Palestinian concerned institutions and organizations. Hundreds of historical, legal, socio-economic and political supplementary sources have been used to collate, analyze and document the phenomenon of ongoing forced displacement and related statistical, legal and political matters. Nonetheless, in the absence of systematic monitoring and comprehensive registration of all displaced Palestinians, it remains difficult, and is sometimes impossible, to produce accurate statistical data reflecting the phenomenon. In such cases, the best available illustrative data is provided. BADIL Resource Center has published the Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons since 2002. This edition provides an overview of the demography of Palestinian refugee and IDP populations and their trends within the last two years. Although, this survey is built upon previous editions, it differs in content, length and format. We are confident to say that although the 2010-2012 edition is shorter than previous installments, it is a richer resource. In this regard, the current edition can be considered a comprehensive coalescence of 10 years of vital work and momentum aimed at developing the survey’s imperative substance. This revision provides stakeholders, duty bearers and researchers with a publication fulfilling their interests on the one hand and, on the other hand, contribution to a human rights-based approach by exploring durable solutions to the longest and largest unresolved refugee case worldwide. This survey: Attempts to present the most accurate statistical data derived from the most reliable sources. The methodology applied in collecting, introducing and analyzing statistical data and estimates enhances the reliability of calculations. Furthermore, the survey avoids providing vague and inadequately supported information; Contains a new chapter (Palestinian Refugees Opinion Poll on International Humanitarian Assistance) reflecting refugees’ perspectives on central issues relevant to their ongoing plight.

  • The Decline of Palestinian Exceptionalism Observation of a Trend and Its Consequences for Refugee Studies in the Middle East
    The Decline of Palestinian Exceptionalism Observation of a trend and its consequences for refugee studies in the Middle East By Mike Kagan Paper Prepared for the Migration and Refugee Movements in the Middle East and North Africa The Forced Migration & Refugee Studies Program The American University in Cairo, Egypt October 23-25, 2007 Discussion Paper The Decline of Palestinian Exceptionalism Observation of a trend and its consequences for refugee studies in the Middle East I. Introduction There has historically been a great divide at the heart of refugee policy and scholarship in the Middle East, between Palestinian refugees and all others. This intellectual and policy divide runs throughout political discourse, governmental and United Nations administration, and civil society activism. It poses a challenge to the coherency of forced migration studies in the Middle East. There is now a significant and growing inter- disciplinary literature about refugees of many nationalities in the region, but the largest and most visible refugee group in the region has been traditionally treated as “a case apart,” to borrow a phrase used recently in the Forced Migration Review (Couldrey and Morris 2006). Any scholarly attempt to synthesize this expanding knowledge into a coherent theoretical or research agenda – especially if one aims for this research to have practical application – will likely founder so long as this remains the case. The division between Palestinian and non-Palestinian refugees has been driven by the assumption – what Michael Dumper has called an “orthodoxy” -- that the Palestinian refugee case is unique, and should be treated as such (Dumper 2007, 347). But this assumption has always been questionable, and (more important) it is increasingly being questioned.1 In this paper, I argue that while the Palestinian refugee case does indeed bear some unique characteristics and thus should be treated separately in some ways, the predicament of Palestinian refugees also bears much in common with other refugees.

  • Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs Between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948
    [Intelligence Service (Arab Section)] June 30, 1948 Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948 Contents 1. General introduction. 2. Basic figures on Arab migration 3. National phases of evacuation and migration 4. Causes of Arab migration 5. Arab migration trajectories and absorption issues Annexes 1. Regional reviews analyzing migration issues in each area [Missing from document] 2. Charts of villages evacuated by area, noting the causes for migration and migration trajectories for every village General introduction The purpose of this overview is to attempt to evaluate the intensity of the migration and its various development phases, elucidate the different factors that impacted population movement directly and assess the main migration trajectories. Of course, given the nature of statistical figures in Eretz Yisrael in general, which are, in themselves, deficient, it would be difficult to determine with certainty absolute numbers regarding the migration movement, but it appears that the figures provided herein, even if not certain, are close to the truth. Hence, a margin of error of ten to fifteen percent needs to be taken into account. The figures on the population in the area that lies outside the State of Israel are less accurate, and the margin of error is greater. This review summarizes the situation up until June 1st, 1948 (only in one case – the evacuation of Jenin, does it include a later occurrence). Basic figures on Arab population movement in Eretz Yisrael a. At the time of the UN declaration [resolution] regarding the division of Eretz Yisrael, the following figures applied within the borders of the Hebrew state: 1.

Area B (approx. 28%) is subject to joint Israeli-Palestinian military and Palestinian civil control. Area C (approx. 61%) is under full Israeli control. According to B'tselem, the vast majority of the Palestinian population lives in areas A and B and less than 1% of area C is designated for use by Palestinians, who are also unable to legally build in their own existing villages in area C due to Israeli authorities' restrictions.

  • Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons 2004 - 2005
    Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons 2004 - 2005 BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Residency & Refugee Rights i BADIL is a member of the Global Palestine Right of Return Coalition Preface The Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons is published annually by BADIL Resource Center. The Survey provides an overview of one of the largest and longest-standing unresolved refugee and displaced populations in the world today. It is estimated that two out of every five of today’s refugees are Palestinian. The Survey has several objectives: (1) It aims to provide basic information about Palestinian displacement – i.e., the circumstances of displacement, the size and characteristics of the refugee and displaced population, as well as the living conditions of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons; (2) It aims to clarify the framework governing protection and assistance for this displaced population; and (3) It sets out the basic principles for crafting durable solutions for Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons, consistent with international law, relevant United Nations Resolutions and best practice. In short, the Survey endeavors to address the lack of information or misinformation about Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons, and to counter political arguments that suggest that the issue of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons can be resolved outside the realm of international law and practice applicable to all other refugee and displaced populations. The Survey examines the status of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons on a thematic basis. Chapter One provides a short historical background to the root causes of Palestinian mass displacement.
