Depending on how the Palestinian Refugees are counted, there can be up to 4,000,000 Palestinian refugees. In Lebanon, they count for roughly 10% of the population. In Jordan, 60% of the population considers themselves ethnic Palestinians.

It is estimated that the invasion and occupation of Iraq has resulted in the the displacement of approximately 5 million people. Of those, about 2.5 million have left Iraq for neighboring states; the majority ending up in Syria (~1.5 million) and Jordan. The other ~2.5 million are internally displaced.

There are at least 3 million Palestinian refugees in the Middle East, along with about 2-3 million Syrian refugees and 2-3 million Iraqi refugees. This does not even count smaller groups of refugees or internally displaced persons.
