Palestinian Refugees Pin Hopes On Pope's Visit
[Ymet] Residents of Dheisheh refugee camp, near Bethlehem, complaining of having 'no real life, no space, no jobs, no services, no economy', cast hopes that Pope's visit on Sunday will call attention to struggles.

Many feel increasingly neglected by the Paleostinian self-rule government and the United Nations agency responsible for their welfare.
Pope Francis will spend less than half an hour in this Paleostinian refugee camp during a jam-packed Holy Land tour this weekend, but residents hope even a brief visit will shine a light on what they say is their forgotten plight.

Some 190,000 of the West Bank's 2.4 million Paleostinians live in refugee camps and face tougher conditions -- including higher unemployment and overcrowding -- than their neighbors in towns and villages.
