Unfortunately, while COGAT has increased the number of approved projects, there has been a marked decline in the number implemented this year. As of fall 2012, only 57% of projects have been, or are currently being executed. By and large this phenomenon has been attributed to a lack of funding. Similarly, there is more capacity at Kerem Shalom Crossing than goods being sent through. Israel invested 80 million ₪ to upgrade and expand the facilities at the crossing in order to accommodate up to 450 trucks a day. However, the number of trucks sent through on a daily basis averages around 300.

Committee Chair signature: Elizabeth Riorden Designing by Community Participation: Meeting the Challenges of the Palestinian Refugee Camps A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advance Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Architecture In the school of Architecture and Interior design Of the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning 2009 By Shadi Y. Saleh Committee chair Elizabeth Riorden Thomas Bible ABSTRACT Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria are the result of the sudden population displacements of 1948 and 1967. After 60 years, unorganized urban growth compounds the situation. The absence of state support pushed the refugees to take matters into their own hands. Currently the camps have problems stemming from both the social situation and the degradation of the built environment. Keeping the refugee camps in order to “represent” a nation in exile does not mean to me that there should be no development. The thesis seeks to make a contribution in solving the social and environmental problems in a way that emphasizes the Right of Return.

  • REFUGEE CAMPS in the West Bank We Provide Services in 19 Palestine Refugee Camps in the West Bank
    PALESTINIAN REFUGEES IN WEST BANK & GAZA STRIP https://www.unrwa.org/palestine-refugees Nearly one-third of the registered Palestine refugees, more than 1.5 million individuals, live in 58 recognized Palestine refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Palestine refugees are defined as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.” UNRWA services are available to all those living in its area of operations who meet this definition, who are registered with the Agency and who need assistance. The descendants of Palestine refugee males, including adopted children, are also eligible for registration. When the Agency began operations in 1950, it was responding to the needs of about 750,000 Palestine refugees. Today, some 5 million Palestine refugees are eligible for UNRWA services. A Palestine refugee camp is defined as a plot of land placed at the disposal of UNRWA by the host government to accommodate Palestine refugees and set up facilities to cater to their needs. Areas not designated as such and are not recognized as camps. However, UNRWA also maintains schools, health centres and distribution centres in areas outside the recognized camps where Palestine refugees are concentrated, such as Yarmouk, near Damascus.

  • Jabalia Camp
    UNITED NATIONS NATIONS UNIES OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS Humanitarian Situation Update: Jabalia Camp Friday, 1 October 2004 Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) entered northern Gaza at 22.30 on Tuesday, 28 September establishing positions on high ground overlooking Izbet Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia and Jabalia. This incursion came in the wake of the continued firing of home made rockets by Palestinian militants towards Israel, and the killing of three soldiers in Morag settlement on 23 September and one settler in Neve Dekalim on 24 September. Missiles have continued to be fired by militants since the start of operation, “Days of Penitence” and two children were killed and 10 others injured in Sderot on 29 September. Heavy fighting has continued over the last three days and so far, 38 Palestinians have been killed and 154 injured (PRCS); five Israelis have been killed including the two children. The IDF committed reinforcements to northern Gaza in the early hours of this morning with estimates of up to 100 tanks entering the area. Defence Minister Mofaz announced on Thursday evening a “large scale and prolonged operation” aimed at pushing Palestinian missiles out of range of Sderot with plans to create a buffer zone. The focus of the operation so far has been on the Jabalia camp to the north of Gaza city. According to UNRWA, the camp covers an area of 1.4 km2 with a registered refugee population of 103,646 making it one of the most densely populated places in the world. It is the largest camp in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), and it was in Jabalia that the first intifada started in December 1987.
