The Al-Hassan camp (sometimes 'Prince Hassan Camp') is a Palestinian refugee camp located some 5 Km from the center of Amman , the capital of Jordan . Administratively it lies in the Amman (Capital) Governorate .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
It was established in 1967, and a 2021 population estimate indicated that 9,408 people lived there,[ 5] although a previous estimate (in 2018) had set the number at 14,068.[ 4]
Palestinian refugee camps are distributed in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan across six governorates, amongst which the Capital governorate and Madaba governorate include Al-Wehdat refugee camp , Jabal el-Hussein camp , Prince Hassan, Talbieh Camp and Madaba camp .[ 6]
