UNRWA removes 174,000 Palestinians
The article discusses reports from the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) regarding the rights of Palestinian refugees. These reports indicate that approximately 174,000 Palestinian refugees were removed from UNRWA's registration records in Syria and the Gaza Strip between 2025 and 2026. A comparison of the agency's reports for these two years reveals a decrease in the number of registered refugees, with around 165,000 fewer in Syria and 9,000 fewer in Gaza. This raises questions about the criteria used to update UNRWA's records, especially given the continued increase in the refugee populations in other areas of its operations, such as Jordan, Lebanon, and the West Bank. The changes related to the number of camps and the fluctuation in figures are a cause for concern, as the agency suggests there may be manipulation or procedures aimed at reducing the refugee count. This threatens the right of return and calls for official clarification regarding the reasons behind this decline—is it due to technical errors or changes in registration procedures?
