Dheisheh Refugee Camp ((アラビア語:مخيم الدهيشة)) is a Palestinian refugee camp located just south of Bethlehem in the West Bank. Dheisheh was established in 1949 on 0.31 square kilometers of land leased from the Jordanian government.〔(Dheisheh refugee camp profile ) UNRWA〕 The camp was established as a temporary refuge for 3,400 Palestinians from 45 villages west of Jerusalem and Hebron who fled during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Six decades of natural population growth have expanded the camp's dimensions into an area between 1 and 1.5 square kilometers. The exact dimensions are subject to periodic debate between residents, UNRWA and the Palestinian Authority. The latter two are required to provide services to residents, depending on their resident status within the camp. Although initially living in tents, the residents have since constructed homes. Many streets are now paved, while still remaining very narrow. According to UNRWA, the entire camp is connected to the municipal water and electric systems of Bethlehem, yet 15% of the camp remains unconnected to the local public sewage system. These homes make use of communal percolation pits.〔 == Name == There are several alternative spellings of Dheisheh, making use of the Latin alphabet. An incomplete list of possible spellings includes "Deheishe", "Deheisheh", "Duheisha", "Dheisha", and "Dhaisha". While "Dheisheh" is the spelling UNRWA uses,〔(Dheisheh Camp Profile ) UNRWA〕 the Palestinian Authority uses "ad Duheisha" in its documentation.〔(Population, Housing, and Establishment Census 2007 Census Final Results in the West Bank - Summary ) Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics〕〔(Projected Mid-Year Population for Bethlehem Governorate by Locality 2004- 2006 ) Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics〕 There is little consensus among news agencies as to the proper spelling. While Al Jazeera English makes use of the "Dheisheh" spelling, the Palestinian news agency Ma'an has used the alternative spelling "Duheisha.".〔(The perspective from the street ) Al Jazeera〕〔(Witness: Israeli Forces Invade Bethlehem ) Ma'an News Agency〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dheisheh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
