Jabalia Refugee Camp

Jabalia Refugee Camp was created following the Nakba of 1984. It is does not exceed 1.4 square kilometres in size and holds the highest population density in the world. It is home to 116,000 Palestinians and is considered the largest refugee camp in Palestine. Since October 7, the the Israeli Occupation Forces poured out its anger on Jabalia camp, carrying out four of the most violent and brutal massacres so far.

In addition to the crimes of premeditated killings, arbitrary arrests, and targeting of civilians, the Israeli military operation in Jabalia has resulted in massive destruction. The attacks have destroyed entire residential blocks and impacted hundreds of homes and buildings, including shelter centres, UNRWA-affiliated medical and food centres, and UNRWA-funded water wells.

A field inspection of the conditions in the Jabalia camp after the Israeli withdrawal revealed that not a single residential building was spared from bombing, bulldozing, or burning operations.
