The Gaza Strip has been a focal point of conflict for decades, with recent events escalating tensions in the region. The area's history dates back to the aftermath of the 1948 war surrounding Israel's establishment, where Gaza came under Egyptian rule. Following the war, a significant number of Palestinians sought refuge in Gaza, leading to a population influx.
During the period of Egyptian control from 1948 to 1967, Palestinian refugees in Gaza faced challenges as they were left homeless and stateless. The emergence of insurgency fighters known as 'fedayeen' added to the volatile situation.
