уцелевшие

Can someone help me with this word in the following sentence? I couldn't figure out its infinitive form and meaning.

НАТО восстановило мир в Косово, и уцелевшие беженцы обрели возможность вернуться на родину.

It's nominative plural from уцелевший (тот, кто уцелел).
Here, it means оставшиеся в живых (те, кто остался в живых). Who survived / Who escaped with their lifes.

Уцелеть = остаться целым / невредимым.

Thanks a lot Olya.
