Palestinian refugees in Brazil
The first party of 35 Palestinian refugees arrived on 21 September 2007 in Brazil to initiate the first phase of the resettlement operation. In October, two other parties were expected to arrive in Brazil, making 117 persons in total.
Some settled in the state of São Paulo, the most populous and wealthiest in the nation.[2]
