The camp's total land area consists of 727 dunums.[1] According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), al-Shati had a population of 87,158 inhabitants in mid-year 2006,[2] while the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) reports a population of 78,800 registered refugees.[1] The camp is the third largest refugee camp in the Palestinian Territories. Contents 1 History 2 Economy 3 People from Al-Shati 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History Al-Shati was established in 1948 for about 23,000 Palestinians fleeing the cities of Jaffa, Lod and Beersheba as well as surrounding villages during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. In 1971, Israeli authorities demolished over 2,000 shelters for the purpose of widening the roads for security reasons. About 8,000 refugees were forced to leave the camp to the nearby housing project in Sheikh Radwan in Gaza City.[1][3][4][5] Economy Before September 2000, when Israel closed off its border with the Gaza Strip due to the violence of the Second Intifada, the majority of al-Shati's work force were laborers in Israel or worked in agriculture. Today, some refugees work in workshops and sewing factories.[citation needed] A sizable number of the camp's 2453 families depend on fishing for income. It contains a sewage system, a health center and 23 schools (17 primary, 6 secondary).[1] People from Al-Shati Ismail Haniya, de facto Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority Rashid Masharawi, filmmaker Said Seyam, assassinated Interior Minister of the Palestinian National Authority based in Gaza See also Canada Camp (1972) Brazil project (1973) Shuqairi project (1973) Sheikh Radwan project (1974) Al-Amal project (1979) References ^ a b c d Beach Camp United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) ^ Projected Mid -Year Population for Gaza Governorate by Locality 2004- 2006 Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) ^ Badil During the 1970s, the Israeli military administration destroyed thousands of refugee shelters in the occupied Gaza Strip under the guise of security. Large refugee camps were targeted in particular. Refugees were forcefully resettled in other areas of the occupied Gaza Strip, with a smaller number transferred to the occupied West Bank. In the occupied Gaza Strip, several housing projects were established for these refugees. Some of these projects today are referred to as camps. These include the Canada project (1972), the Shuqairi project (1973), the Brazil project (1973), the Sheikh Radwan project (1974), and the al-Amal project (1979). ^ Palestine Israel Journal Refugee Resettlement: The Gaza Strip Experience by Norma Masriyeh ^ Badil The Continuing Catastrophe --1967 and beyond External links Beach, articles from UNWRA v · d · eGaza Gaza Topics History · Economy · Education · Tourism Neighborhoods al-Daraj · Judeide · al-Nasser · Old City · Rimal · al-Sabra · al-Shati Camp · Sheikh Ijlin · Sheikh Radwan · Shuja'iyya · Tel al-Hawa · al-Tuffah · al-Turukman · Zeitoun Places of Worship Baptist Church of Gaza · Great Mosque · Ibn Marwan Mosque · Ibn Uthman Mosque · Roman Catholic Church of Gaza · Saint Porphyrius Church · Sayed al-Hashim Mosque · Welayat Mosque Historic buildings  · Cultural centers Ancient Synagogue · Hamam al-Sammara · Gaza Museum of Archaeology · Palestine Stadium · Qasr al-Basha · Qissariya Market · Palestinian Centre for Human Rights · Palestinian Legislative Council · Rashad Shawa Cultural Center · Shuja'iyya Market Hospitals  · Universities Ahli Hospital · al-Aqsa Hospital · al-Aqsa University · al-Azhar University · Islamic University · al-Shifa Hospital Public Squares Palestine Square · Unknown Soldier's Square Streets Ahmad Orabi Street · Izz al-Din al-Qassam Street · Jamal Abdel Nasser Street · Omar Mukhtar Street · Wehda Street Transportation Port of Gaza v · d · eGaza Governorate Cities Gaza Municipalities Al-Zahra' Villages Juhor ad-Dik · Madinat al-Awda · al-Mughraqa Refugee camps al-Shati v · d · ePalestinian refugee camps1 locations and populations as of 2005  Gaza Strip 986,034 refugees  Jordan 2,127,877 refugees  Lebanon 404,170 refugees  Syria 432,048 refugees  West Bank 699,817 refugees Al-Shati (Beach) 76,109 Bureij 30,059 Deir al-Balah 20,188 Jabalya 175,646 Khan Yunis 60,662 Maghazi 22,536 Nuseirat 64,233 Rafah 90,638 Canada Camp disbanded Amman New 390,805 Baqa'a 120,100 Husn 19,573 Irbid camp 35,512 Jabal el-Hussein 100,674 Jerash 30,696 Marka 41,237 Souf 21,911 Talbieh 4,041 Zarqa 180,344 Beddawi 15,695 Burj el-Barajneh 19,526 Burj el-Shemali 18,134 Dbayeh 4,223 Dikwaneh destroyed Ein el-Hilweh 44,133 El-Buss 9,840 Jisr el-Basha destroyed Mar Elias 1,406 Mieh Mieh 5,078 Nabatieh destroyed Nahr el-Bared 28,358 Rashidieh 24,679 Sabra Shatila 11,998 Tel al-Zaatar destroyed Wavel 7,357 Dera'a 5,916 Dera'a (emergency) 5,536 Hama 7,597 Homs 13,825 Jaramana 5,007 Khan Dunoun 8,603 Khan Eshieh 15,731 Neirab 17,994 Qabr Essit 16,016 Sbeineh 19,624 Latakia 6,534 Yarmouk 350,550 Ein Al-Tal 4,329 Abu Dis Aida 3,260 Am'ari 8,083 Aqabat Jabr 5,197 al-'Arrub 9,180 Askar 31,894 'Azza 1,828 Balata 41,681 Deir Ammar 2,189 Dheisheh 10,923 Ein Beit al-Ma' 6,221 Ein as-Sultan 1,888 Far'a 12,836 Fawwar 7,072 Jalazone 9,284 Jenin 35,050 Kalandia 9,188 Nur Shams 8,179 Shuafat (Shu'fat) 9,567 Tulkarm 17,259 1 The UNRWA definition of a "Palestinian refugee" is a person "whose normal place of residence was Palestine between June 1946 and May 1948, who lost both their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict ...
