Jerash refugee camp is one of the ten official Palestinian refugee camps located in Jordan. It is inhabited by about 28,000 people who originally fled from Gaza, Palestine, in 1968, as a result of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Although more than 30 years have passed, the responsible authorities still consider the camp to be a temporary shelter, and investments in services and infrastructure in the camp, except for basic services, have not taken place.
