that number is based on widely accepted definitions, and is likely a low figure. palestinian refugees are recognised as a multigenerational refugee population because they’ve never been allowed to return to their homes, and most have not been granted full citizenship elsewhere. that's why their descendants retain refugee status. it’s a question of legal and historical context. the idea that you “stop being a refugee” because you’re born in a host country does not apply in this case.
