Jabalia refugee camp
Jabalia Camp (Arabic: مخيّم جباليا) is a Palestinian refugee camp in the North Gaza Governorate of the Gaza Strip, 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) north of Jabalia. It is the closest camp to the Erez Crossing between Gaza and Israel. Jabalia Camp is the largest refugee camp in Palestine, with more than 100,000 inhabitants. The camp only covers an area of 1.4 km2 (0.54 sq mi), making it one of the most densely populated areas in the Gaza Strip.
The camp was established in 1948 by the United Nations to house those displaced by the 1948 Palestinian expulsion. Originally composed of tents and other temporary structures, over time the population grew and the camp developed into a densely populated urban area with multi-story buildings.
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, the camp has been under Israeli occupation along with the rest of the Gaza Strip. Due to Israeli attacks during the Gaza war and Gaza genocide, the refugee camp has been mostly destroyed.

Over time, the population grew and the camp developed into a densely populated urban area with multi-story buildings. Before the Gaza war, the camp was the largest refugee camp in Palestine, with a population of about 100,000.
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, the camp was under Israeli occupation along with the rest of the Gaza Strip. About 2,000 people were displaced from the camp.
The camp has been the scene of much violence in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The First Intifada in December 1987 began in Jabalia and the camp is considered by Israel to be a "Hamas stronghold". There was an extensive tunnel network beneath the camp. In 2004, during the Second Intifada, the Days of Penitence operation by the Israeli military resulted in over 155 Palestinian deaths and extensive damage to homes and agriculture, with the majority of the deaths and damage occurring in Jabalia camp.
The Al-Fakhura school shelling occurred in Jablia on January 6, 2009, during the First Gaza War.
During the 2014 Gaza War, Israeli artillery reportedly hit a UNWRA school in Jabalia Camp, killing at least 15 Palestinians sheltering there. A UN spokesman stated: "Last night, children were killed as they slept next to their parents on the floor of a classroom in a UN-designated shelter in Gaza. Children killed in their sleep; this is an affront to all of us, a source of universal shame. Today the world stands disgraced."
