In response to the escalating conflict in Gaza and the anticipated Israeli military push into southern Gaza, particularly targeting Rafah, Egyptian authorities are constructing an 8-square-mile walled enclosure in the Sinai Desert near the Gaza border. This development, reported by various news outlets including The Wall Street Journal and Reuters, aims to accommodate potentially hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees fleeing the conflict. The construction includes a fortified buffer zone and is based on satellite imagery analysis, with Egypt preparing the area as a contingency for the expected exodus of Palestinians. The Sinai Foundation for Human Rights has also reported on Egypt's efforts to build a buffer zone for Palestinian refugees. Additionally, plans for a 13-square-kilometer tent camp designed to house up to 100,000 people have been disclosed, indicating extensive preparations for a significant refugee influx.
