From the ramshackle alleys of Jabalia in the Gaza Strip, a camp crammed with 102,000 people, to the 1,800 in tiny Beit Jibrin, nestled inside the West Bank city of Bethlehem, more than 623,000 refugees are stuck in 27 camps across the occupied territories.

Her family refuses...
...freezing the accounts of 27 organizations and individuals linked to al-Qaeda and the Taliban, notes one E.U. official. It took the E.U. three months to secure the legal basis for the same action "even though everyone wanted it," the official says. And no one wants to revisit the squalid bickering that took place in December 2000 at the European Council in Nice, a summit that degenerated into an undignified tussle between small and large states before finally approving the historic enlargement...
