    Abba Eban Institute claims UN spends 4 times more money per Palestinian refugee than per any other refugee, while having 1 body for dealing with Palestinian refugees and another for the rest.
    A Palestinian refugee receives a budget four times larger than a Syrian, Iraqi or African refugee.
    The findings of the study seem to reinforce Israel's traditional argument against the split between the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides assistance only for Palestinian refugees.
    he UN is currently addressing the largest refugee crisis in history—with about 68 million people worldwide seeking shelter.
    At the end of last week, UNRWA released its annual financial report, which stated that in 2016 the organization spent an average of $246 for each of the 5.3 million Palestinians it defines as refugees, while UNHCR spent only a quarter of that, $58 per refugee.
    In addition, the data show that UNRWA employs some 30,000 people, while the World Refugee Agency, which handles tens of millions worldwide, employs only 10,000 people.
    Former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Ron Prosor heads the Abba Eban Institute, which formulated a plan of action for structural changes that will improve the treatment of refugees around the world by merging UNRWA into the UNHCR.
    "Consolidating the budgets and manpower of both agencies will lead to better treatment of refugees," Prosor said. "In Jordan, for example, there are 44 clinics that treat refugees from the civil wars in Syria and Iraq, out of 233 clinics that are required for this mission. Alongside them are 25 UNRWA clinics that ignore Syrian refugees and care only for Palestinian refugees.
    "Uniting the resources of the two agencies will enable more quality and efficient assistance, and contribute to a solution for what that the UN itself has defined as the most serious refugee crisis in history."
    A few weeks ago, the United States sought to reduce UNRWA's budget, and as a result, the Palestinians tried to transfer control of this budget to the UN General Assembly, but as a result of American pressure they withdrew this proposal.

    Palestinians have a state, why do they remain in camps instead of moving there?

    Calling them Nazi's does not help, just call them what they are, racial supremacists. Why give the Zionist's an easy comeback?

    He can't help himself. The Borg queen who gives them their marching orders every day requires a daily dose of Nazi and racist name calling.

    OK, Gaza isn't considered an independent state, but self governed Palestinian territory.

    Yeah, that's not a state, nor the state the international community (at least 95% of that community) believes it should have.

    If by the term "bunch of right wing extremst nazis" you mean democraticaly elected government of Israel, than it gave Palestinians the strip of Gaza to start building their own state. They instead launched barrage of rockets on neighbouring Sderot.

    Gaza in not dependent to any other state. The fact that they can't build a functioning society is theirs problem alone.

    Gaza is part of the occupied territories, their problem is the eastern european colonists who stole others land.

    Yeah, that's the one, democratically elected by a population of wayward Jews displaying nazi tendencies.

    Never forget to forget, eh.

    Palestine existed during the Mandate, unfortunately no compromise could be found by the British that gave the colonialists a state and retained the rights of the indigenous population. The immigrants declared their own state, and drove out the indigenous population.

    Why do Palestinian refugees command four times more aid than the refugees of other regions? Are Palestinians the most needy?

    That's Ramallah, by the way, the Capital of poorest of the poor, neediest of the needy, most oppressed of all of the oppressed. Palestinians certainly need four times more cash to bring in all these papayas, pineapples, mangos to survive.

    They drove themselves out, hoping to return in a few days, once the Jews are safely thrown into the sea.

    Ramallah is one street with 30 people? Must be the smallest city in the world.

    Sick of war, the British left Palestine because of the Nazi-style terrorism used against their soldiers. I think Ernest Bevin thought the Nazis would be wiped out by the allies of the native population. Alas. the Palestinians had been hugely weakened by their too-early rising against Britain, and their allies were divided into armies that didn't work together.

    Sorry to tell you but there was a well documented ethnic cleansing of the local population in the late 40s.
