Español1967 PALESTINIAN EXODUS
The '1967 Palestinian exodus' refers to the flight of around 280,000 to 325,000 Palestinians[1] out of the territories occupied by Israel during and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War. Their exodus was followed by the demolition of a few of their villages, such as Imwas, Yalu, and Beit Nuba.[2]
Approximately 145,000 of the 1967 Palestinian refugees were UNWRA refugees uprooted for the second time.McDowall, 1989, p. 84. By December, 245,000 had fled from the West Bank and Gaza Strip to Jordan, 11,000 had fled from Gaza to Egypt and 116,000 Palestinians and Syrians had fled from the Golan Heights further into Syria.
Before the Six-Day War roughly half of all Palestinians still lived within the boundaries of historic Palestine, but from 1967 onwards the majority was outside.
The exodus is commemorated annually on Naksa Day.
