Khan Yunis Camp, Refugee camp in southern Gaza Strip, Palestine.

The camp extends over a densely populated area near Khan Yunis city, housing over 72,000 Palestinian refugees in concrete structures and narrow streets.

Founded in 1949, Khan Yunis Camp initially sheltered 35,000 Palestinians who left their homes during the 1948 conflict between Arab states and Israel.

The UNRWA schools within the camp provide education to thousands of students, maintaining Palestinian cultural identity through specialized programs and activities.

Medical services at Khan Yunis Camp operate through UNRWA facilities, offering essential healthcare despite limited resources and infrastructure constraints.

The camp's location near the Egyptian border creates specific economic opportunities through cross-border trade networks and agricultural activities.
