RAMALLAH, West Bank, May 10 (UPI) -- The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics estimates there were 11.2 million Palestinians around the world at the end of 2011, a release said Thursday.
On the 64th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, when the establishment of Israel uprooted an estimated 1.37 million Palestinians from their lands and homes in 1948, the Bureau says the population had increased eight times by the end of 2011.
