Established by the UNRWA in 1953, now holds about 15,000 inhabitants and became a "symbol of resistance" to Israeli occupation in 2002 during the battle of Jenin. The Refugee Camp is not a refugee camp in the sense of western imagination but a packed part of town with Palestinians displaced from the rest of the country. The UNRWA Jenin Relief Office is in the middle of the northern road.
Built by the Turks in 1908 with the help of the German allies. Used until 1932 for civilian purposes and afterwards, until 1941, for military ones. Unfortunately, the building is slowly falling apart and not taken care of.
Since Germans were stationed here to construct an airport north of Jenin to help the Turkish troops, this memorial is in honour of the German pilots who died in air battles with England and France in World War I.
