That's actually true. More Palestinians have died outside of Palestine and Israel than inside. Hell, more Palestinians have died in the black september alone (up to 20,000 casualties) than the whole Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Doubt a lot of the refugees would be allowed to come back anyways:

Palestinian refugees will not become citizens of a new Palestinian state, according to Palestine’s ambassador to Lebanon. The ambassador unequivocally says that Palestinian refugees would not become citizens of the sought for U.N.-recognized Palestinian state, an issue that has been much discussed. “They are Palestinians, that’s their identity,” he says. “But … they are not automatically citizens.” This would not only apply to refugees in countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan or the other 132 countries where Abdullah says Palestinians reside. Abdullah said that “even Palestinian refugees who are living in [refugee camps] inside the [Palestinian] state, they are still refugees. They will not be considered citizens.” Abdullah said that the new Palestinian state would “absolutely not” be issuing Palestinian passports to refugees. Neither this definitional status nor U.N. statehood, Abdullah says, would affect the eventual return of refugees to Palestine. “How the issue of the right of return will be solved I don’t know, it’s too early [to say], but it is a sacred right that has to be dealt with and solved [with] the acceptance of all.” He says statehood “will never affect the right of return for Palestinian refugees.” The right of return that Abdullah says is to be negotiated would not only apply to those Palestinians whose origins are within the 1967 borders of the state, he adds. “The state is the 1967 borders, but the refugees are not only from the 1967 borders. The refugees are from all over Palestine. When we have a state accepted as a member of the United Nations, this is not the end of the conflict. This is not a solution to the conflict. This is only a new framework that will change the rules of the game.” The Palestinian Liberation Organization would remain responsible for refugees, and Abdullah says that UNRWA would continue its work as usual.

Thanks for doing this mate, it really needs more publicity. If the Lebanese government was better equipped to serve its own citizens, perhaps we could work towards improving the quality of life in the camps as well.

I know, but there are a couple of laws that can be quickly enacted that can prove the lives of Palestinian refugees by a large margin.

If you do that, Palestinians would be very grateful and shocked. They definitely wouldn't expect the Lebanese government to allow us to own property.

To a large extent, at least in the political sphere. Perhaps Arabs are against the way we are treated by the governments, but they never protested against this treatment.
