UNRWA Removes 174,000 Palestinian Refugees
The 302 Refugee Rights Committee has reported that UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) has removed approximately 174,000 Palestinian refugees from its records between 2025 and 2026. This decline is due to a decrease in the number of registered refugees in Syria and Gaza, amounting to about 165,000 and 9,000 refugees, respectively. Meanwhile, registration numbers have increased in Jordan, Lebanon, and the West Bank. The drop in records in Syria and Gaza has been attributed to the implementation of data updating policies, raising questions about the reasons for not including refugees residing outside the areas of operation or those holding different nationalities. The committee calls for clarifications regarding this decline, warning that it could threaten the right of return and serve as a prelude to ending their plight.
