RE: Palestine Today

Oh, I don't think that can be true. This is another one of those exaggerations based on the rewriting of the meaning of "refugee."
The Life expectancy at birth:
For the Total Gaza Strip Population is estimated at: 74.4 years (2018 est.)
Some people get the definition of a real "refugee" mixed-up with the "eligibility for UNRWA" services.
Read: UNRWA’s current Consolidated Eligibility and Registration Instructions (CERI, 2006) The CERI is an "instruction booklet" and NOT LAW.
OK! Having said that, vast majority of the general population in the Gaza Strip ARE NOT 70 years of age and the people who had "a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, → cannot return home or are afraid to do so."
When we talk about the population of Arab Palestinian Refugees, we use that term loosely; without adhering to the specifics of what it means. Arab Palestinians of the Gaza Strip that we are talking about are either:
A vast majority of the Arab Palestinians in the Gaza Strip "never lived" outside the Gaza Strip --- in what is now sovereign Israel. Look at the accumulation of the pictures posted and you will not find very many Arab Palestinians of the Gaza Strip that are 70 years of age or older...
Most Respectfully,

A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries.

An internally displaced person, or IDP, is someone who has been forced to flee their home but never cross an international border. These individuals seek safety anywhere they can find it—in nearby towns, schools, settlements, internal camps, even forests and fields. IDPs, which include people displaced by internal strife and natural disasters, are the largest group that UNHCR assists. Unlike refugees, IDPs are not protected by international law or eligible to receive many types of aid because they are legally under the protection of their own government.
