Palestinian children playing in the alleys of the Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip, Rafah, Gaza Strip, Palestinian Territory - 26 Sep 2023
Palestinian children playing in the alleys of the Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip on September 26, 2023. Rafah refugee camp, established in 1949, is located south of the Gaza Strip near the Egyptian border. Shortly after Rafah camp was created, thousands of refugees moved from the camp to a nearby housing project at Tel El-Sultan, making the camp almost indistinguishable from the adjacent city. Rafah camp originally sheltered Palestine Refugees who had fled the hostilities of the 1948 war. More than seven decades later, high population density is a major problem in the camp, with people living in crowded shelters along extremely narrow streets. Photo by Omar Al-Dirawi\ apaimages
