This report summarizes findings of a study of
the living conditions of the Palestinian refugee
population residing inside Jordan’s 13 Palestinian
refugee camps.1 It also examines how the living
conditions of Palestinian camp refugees have
evolved since the late 1990s. The report draws
on two sources of data: (i) a comprehensive
survey of the 13 Palestinian refugee camps (April
to June 2011); and (ii) a multi-topic survey of a
representative sample of Palestinian refugeecamp
households (September to November
2011). These data are sometimes supplemented
by survey data collected by Fafo in 1999 to
enable comparison across time.
