In Rafah, the fight is for mere survival. Israeli bombs continue to fall and nowhere is safe. There is no clean water. There is very little food.

Rafah is a city of refugees. The city was already crowded before the war and now, it literally hosts millions, mostly scattered in massive refugee encampments that lay in and around the city, going as far as the Rafah-Egypt border. 

Here, the fight is for mere survival. Israeli bombs continue to fall and nowhere is safe. There is no clean water. There is very little food. More, there is also a harsh winter where the refugees’ simple tents are often blown away, sometimes in the middle of the night. 

The Palestine Chronicle photos and video below were taken on two separate days in Rafah refugee camps. They tell a story of resilience, survival, and also hope.
