a significant portion of these transfers may be circulating within Jerash camp itself, between relatives and other residents, rather than bringing in money from outside the camp. Table 10 Mean and median total institutional (n=636) and private transfer (n=800) received past 12 months amongst all households that received such transfer. In JD. By ex-Gaza status.

Figure 5 paints a picture of such wealth by showing how many durable goods or assets of a total list of 31 such items our three population groups possess53. As is evident (Figure 5), exGazans residing in Jerash camp tend to own fewer assets than the comparator groups. This is reflected in the mean and median number of assets, which are both 9 for ex-Gazans in Jerash camp as compared with a mean and median of 10 for both ex-Gazans in other camps and other Palestinian refugees.
