UNRWA: UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, which created its own criteria for refugee classification- As such that Palestinians are the only refugee population legally defined to include descendants of refugees, as well as others who might otherwise be considered internally displaced persons.
I personally find the situation in the Palestinian territories to be a matter of great concern that must be resolved. A two state solution is desperately needed but how can such a solution be generated when both parties, that being the Palestinians and Israeli's don't both want it. Conflict Resolution, diplomats, peace seekers- have all attempted for years... what is the missing key?
As of December 2005, the World Refugee Survey of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants estimates the total number of Palestinian refugees to be 2,966,100.
