What is the difference between Palestinian refugees and non-Palestinian refugees in the world?

A. There is no difference. A refugee is a refugee.

B. UNRWA are taking care of 5.9 million Palestinians. They are doing so with a staff of more than 30,000 employees. There were 29.4 million refugees under UNHCR’s mandate in 2022. They were treated by a staff of 20,739 employees. That means that there is one UNRWA employee for every 196 Palestinians while there is a UNHCR employee per 1417 “regular refugees”. Palestinians get X7.2 more people treating them then any other refugees in the world.

C. The definition of Palestinian refugees is different than any other refugees in the world. In the UNRWA definition the refugee state of Palestinians is transformed from father to son. In other worlds – if nothing changes (as it didn’t in the last 75 years) – there will still be Palestinian refugees 1000 years from now. “Regular refugees” do not pass their status to children that were born in the new countries where those refugees moved to.

D. B and c are both true
