There are 1 million Palestinian refugees in the city of Rafah

A makeshift tent city home to more than 1 million displaced Palestinians is expanding rapidly in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, according to new satellite images from Maxar Technologies.

Pictures show that much of the previously cleared area in Rafah was filled with tents, mainly between December 10 and February 3, where internally displaced Palestinians have taken refuge as a result of the war.
