To get extra free rations from United Nations relief agencies. most Arabs registered dead and nonexisting family members as well. Deaths in Arab refugee camps are rarely. if ever. reported. and this boosted the original refugee number to over 800.000. In addition. over 400.000 children were born in refugee camps over the past 10 years. They never saw Israel. but they are registered as refugees. This brings the official refugee figure to more than 1 million souls.

For they could have remained in their homes in what is now Israel. as the Israeli commanders begged them to.
