Maghazi refugee camp

Maghazi (Arabic: مخيم المغازي) is a Palestinian refugee camp located in the Deir al-Balah Governorate in the central Gaza Strip.[1] During the 2023 war, population surged to 100,000 as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) ordered Gaza residents to flee to the south.There is a weekly souk, or open-air market, on Sunday in which residents buy or sell goods from their workshops, bakeries, cafes, diners and grocery lots.[4] On the evening of Monday 6 January 2003, the IDF raided the camp, killed three Palestinians and wounded dozens, saying they were targeting militants hiding there.[11][12][13][14] Refugees in the camp faced disease epidemics, blockades preventing the import of food, water and sanitary products, and blocked access to landfill sites.
