UNRWA deletes 174,000 refugees
The 302 Assembly for the Defense of Refugee Rights questioned the reason behind the decrease in the number of registered Palestinian refugees in the records of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) by approximately 174,000 refugees between the 2025 and 2026 reports, noting a decline in numbers in Syria and Gaza. They emphasized that these changes raise questions about the basis for updating the agency's records, especially since refugee figures in other areas such as Jordan, Lebanon, and the West Bank have increased. They pointed out that the decline might be related to the death or migration of refugees or changes in the number of camps, warning that continued trends like these could threaten refugees' right to return. The organization called for clarification of the nature of these changes, verification of the accuracy of the numbers, and checks for any technical errors or new registration policies.
