The second major group of displaced Palestinians is comprised of those displaced for the first time from their homes and country in the context of the 1967 War, and their descendants. The total number of 1967 Palestinian refugees is estimated at 1,331,311 persons (see 2.4.4 in Notes regarding estimates about this group). Internally displaced Palestinians can be divided into two groups. The first is composed of persons displaced in 1948 Palestine. This group includes those who were displaced during the Nakba, (46,000 Palestinians,207 today amounting to approximately 439,171 persons) as well as those displaced internally in the years after. The second group (approximately 372,793 persons) is composed Home demolition in Beit hanina, Jerusalem. (Source: al-ayyam.ps) of Palestinians internally displaced within the oPt since 1967 as a result of Israel’s policies of colonization, forcible transfer, and apartheid. This figure includes Palestinian refugees who suffered secondary forced displacement inside the oPt, but due to the lack of official and comprehensive records, the category of 1967 IDPs includes an unknown number of 1948 refugees (see 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 in Notes regarding estimates about 1948 IDPs and 1967 IDPs). While no authoritative data exists for this second category, thousands of Palestinians are at risk of displacement today due to Israeli forcible transfer policies, including the lack of up-to-date Master Plans, inadequate allocation and zoning of land, insufficient provision of financial resources and services for Palestinian use, and exhausting procedures for Palestinians to obtain Israeli-issued permits for construction.208 , 209, 210 207 See BADIL, ‘Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons 2013-2015’ (2015) VIII Survey of Palestinian Refugees & IDPs, 53 [hereinafter BADIL, Survey of Palestinian Refugees 2013-2015] <http://www.badil. org/phocadownloadpap/badil-new/publications/survay/Survey2013-2015-en.pdf> accessed 3 October 2022. 208 BADIL, Denial of Access (n 87). 209 OCHA, Data on Demolition (n 137). 210 Roald Høvring, ‘10 things you should know about the evictions in East Jerusalem’ (Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), 11 November 2021) <https://www.nrc.no/perspectives/2021/10-things-you-should-know-about-the-evictions-in-eastjerusalem/> accessed 3 October 2022. 41 2 Between January 2019 and August 2022, Israel displaced 3,702 Palestinians in the West Bank and east Jerusalem as a result of home demolitions and property confiscation.209 Forcible seizure of Palestinian homes contributes to the existence of a coercive environment that leads to displacement. In east Jerusalem, especially in recent years, the Israeli government, along with colonizer organizations, have intensified their efforts to take control of Palestinian properties located in close proximity to Jerusalem’s Old City. This includes homes in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan. As of the end of 2021, the UN recorded that about 218 Palestinian households in Jerusalem have eviction cases filed against them, most initiated by colonizer organization. Approximately 970 people, including 424 children, are at risk of forcible displacement.210 Chapter (often referred to as “registered refugees” or “Palestine refugees”), and a further 1.2 million refugees who were also displaced during the Nakba (1947-1949), but are not eligible or did not register for assistance with UNRWA (see 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 in Notes regarding estimates about this group).
