Al-Shati Refugee Camp

Al-Shati refugee camp is a Palestinian refugee camp located in the northern Gaza Strip with a population of 90,173 registered refugees as of July 2023. Established in 1948 for 23,000 Palestinians who fled or were expelled during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the camp is the third largest in the Palestinian Territories and is currently under the control of the IDF. In 2023, the camp was hit by multiple airstrikes during the Israel-Hamas War and was eventually taken over by the Israel Defense Forces. The majority of the camp's workforce is engaged in workshops, sewing factories, fishing, or agriculture, with a significant number of families relying on fishing for income.learn more on wikipedia
