Palestinian refugees

Palestinian refugees are people who fled or were forced to leave their homes during the Arab-Israeli conflict, especially around 1948 and 1967. Many lived in historic Palestine and neighboring countries like Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. They often lost their homes and livelihoods, and their descendants still live in refugee camps or host countries. Their status is complex, involving issues of legal recognition, rights, and the right of return. The refugee situation remains a central aspect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, symbolizing both displacement and the ongoing search for a durable solution.
