From 200,000 to 1.5 Million People

Startling images show the ongoing war’s impact to this small area in Gaza

Israel has identified the southern Gaza town of Rafah as the next target in its military offensive against Hamas.

The town is normally home to 280,000 people. But its population has swelled to over 1.5 million – roughly three quarters of Gaza’s population -- as people flee fighting elsewhere in Gaza.

Sprawling tent camps now dot the city.
