Tel al-Sultan or Tall as-Sultan (Arabic: معسكر تل السلطان) is one of eight Palestinian refugee camps in the Gaza Strip. It is located in the Rafah Governorate just north of Rafah city and Rafah Camp.[2] It was established mainly to absorb refugees repatriated from Canada Camp.[3]
UNRWA does not make a distinction between Rafah Camp and Tall as-Sultan.[3] The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics 2006 mid-year estimate for Tall as-Sultan is 24,418.[1]
On 26 May 2024, it was struck by Israeli airstrikes, killing at least 50 people, most of whom were women and children.[4][5]
