The right to adequate housing for every Palestine refugee
Of the some 5 million Palestine refugees registered with our Agency,
roughly one third live in 58 recognized refugee camps in Jordan,
Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Over the years, these camps have transformed from temporary 'tent
cities' into hyper-congested masses of multi-storey buildings with
narrow alleys. The camps are considered to be among the densest urban
environments in the world, but because camp structures were built for
temporary
use, over the decades the buildings have become overcrowded, critically
substandard and in many cases life-threatening. Launched in 2007 to
address the deteriorating environments of the camps, the Infrastructure
and Camp Improvement Programme (ICIP) adopts an integrated,
comprehensive, participatory and community-driven improvement of the
built environment of Palestine refugee camps.
