No-Man's Land: Palestian Refugees in Syria

In 2006, as Iraq descended into new depths of civil conflict, 350 Palestinian refugees were driven out of Baghdad by targeted violence. They arrived in the desert no-man's-land between the Iraqi and the Syrian border crossings at Al-Tanf. Due to their concerns over the arrival of an estimated 1.6 million Iraqi refugees adding to the number of Palestinian refugees already in the country, the Syrian authorities denied the Palestinians access into Syria, also preventing any more Palestinians arriving into the no-man's land.
