The Nakba is the source of the still-unresolved Palestinian refugee problem. Today, there are more than 4 million registered Palestinian refugees worldwide. The majority of these still live within 60 miles of the borders of Israel and the West Bank and Gaza Strip where their original homes are located. Israel refuses to allow Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and to pay them compensation, as the UN Resolution 194 of Right of Return for the Palestinians is not binding and like many other UN resolutions it has been used as a suggestion rather than as an order.
