Between 1967 and 2004 that is, so not counting the hundreds of thousands who fled in 1947/48 and were never allowed back in. These people wouldn't even show up in the statistics as refugees.
Quote:
Israel stripped more than 100,000 residents of Gaza and some 140,000 residents of the West Bank of their residency rights during the 27 years between its conquest of the territories in 1967 and the establishment of the Palestinian Authority in 1994.
As a result, close to 250,000 Palestinians who left the territories were barred from ever returning.
