UNRWA Removes 174000 Palestinians
The 302 Defense Committee for Refugee Rights reveals that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has deleted approximately 174,000 Palestinian refugees from its records in Syria and the Gaza Strip, based on a comparison between reports from 2025 and 2026. According to the 2026 reports, there were about 418,000 refugees in Syria and 1.547 million in Gaza, compared to 582,746 in Syria and 1.556 million in 2025. This reflects a decrease of roughly 165,000 refugees in Syria and 9,000 in Gaza. The committee questions the updating criteria used by UNRWA, especially since refugee numbers in other areas have increased. They consider that these number changes could threaten the refugees' right of return, calling for clarification of the reasons behind the changes, verification of the data's accuracy, and an assessment of how these figures impact refugees' rights.
