52 Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (2006-2007) The second-highest number of camp refugees is found in Jordan (329,150 as of 31 March 2007). However, Jordan is also the host country with lowest percentage of refugees in camps: only 17% of the registered Palestinian refugees in Jordan reside in camps. This reflects the status afforded to most Palestinian refugees in Jordan as Jordanian citizens. Lebanon and Syria are the host countries with the largest portion of camp refugees. In Lebanon, approximately 50% (216,597 as of 31 March 2007) live in official camps and about 5% in unofficial camps. The high percentage of camp refugees in Lebanon is directly related to the restrictions placed on freedom of movement by the Lebanese government, the lack of resources for alternative housing outside of the camps, and concerns about physical safety. In Syria, where approximately 55% are camp refugees, more Palestinian refugees live in unofficial camps (142,560) than in official camps (119,570), because some unofficial camps, in particular Yarmouk, are located close to the capital Damascus and offer good services.
