Rafah is situated in the southern part of the Gaza Strip in Palestine,
at the border with Egypt. In ancient times, it was an important
settlement on the Othmans road, connecting Egypt with the Al-Sham
countries According to the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel at Camp
David in 1982, Rafah was divided into two parts: One part was
assinged to Egypt, the other part to the Gaza Strip (Palestine).
Today, the city has about 130.000 inhabitants and is surrounded
by several refugee camps.
