Ali Sha’aban, Hussein, <strong>Palestinian</strong> <strong>Refugee</strong>s in Lebanon – From Hosting Through Discrimination. [Arabic]. Jerusalem: PASSIA, 2002. a. During the 1970s, the Israeli military administration destroyed thous<strong>and</strong>s of refugee shelters in the occupied Gaza Strip under the guise of security. Large refugee camps were targeted in particular. <strong>Refugee</strong>s were <strong>for</strong>cefully resettled in other areas of the occupied Gaza Strip, with a smaller number transferred to the occupied West Bank. In the occupied Gaza Strip, several housing projects were established <strong>for</strong> these refugees. Some of these projects today are referred to as camps. These include the Canada project (1972), the Shuqairi project (1973), the Brazil project (1973), the Sheikh Radwan project (1974), <strong>and</strong> the al-Amal project (1979). b. There are more than 4,220 ex-Gaza refugees distributed throughout West Bank camps. c. An additional 4,000 <strong>Palestinian</strong>s are estimated by UNRWA to be living in the camp as a result of Israel’s policy of residency revocation in Jerusalem. d. The camp was closed because of unsanitary living conditions, <strong>and</strong> residents were relocated to Shu’fat refugee camp. e. These statistics were taken from <strong>Palestinian</strong> localities: population 1997–2010, revised version, <strong>Palestinian</strong> Central Bureau of Statistics, 2005. f. As of 31 December 2003, over 15,000 persons were 1967 refugees. g. Population figures <strong>for</strong> unofficial camps in Jordan are <strong>for</strong> 2000, including annual population growth of 3.5% from 2000 to 2006. In 2000, the population of Ma’adaba was 5,500; Sakhna, 4,750; <strong>and</strong> al-Hassan, 9,000. h. Dikwaneh <strong>and</strong> Nabatieh were completely destroyed in the 1970s, but refugees who were in these camps are maintaining their registration numbers with these centres until such time as UNRWA’s new <strong>Refugee</strong> Registration In<strong>for</strong>mation System (RRIS) is developed. i. The camp was evacuated <strong>and</strong> residents moved to Rashidieh camp. j. Population figures <strong>for</strong> unofficial camps in Lebanon are <strong>for</strong> 2001, updated based on 3.5% annual growth until 2006. In 2001, the population of al- Ma’ashouq was 3,447; Shabiha, 4,829; al-Qasmia, 2,634; Kufr Bada (Abu al-U’sod), 813; al-U’rash (Adlon), 1,448; <strong>and</strong> Shhim, 1,978. k. The statistics <strong>for</strong> the unofficial camps in Syria are <strong>for</strong> 2002, including annual population growth of 3.5% until 2006. The 2002 population of Ein el-Tal was 4,329; al-Yarmouk, 112,550; Ramadani, 1,000; <strong>and</strong> Lattakia 6,354. l. The two camps in Egypt were closed in 1949. m.
