Bureij ((アラビア語:البريج)) is a Palestinian refugee camp located in the central Gaza Strip east of the Salah al-Din Road in the Deir al-Balah Governorate. The camp's total land area is 529 dunums and in 2005, it had a population of 34,951 with 28,770 registered refugees.〔(Projected Mid -Year Population ) for Deir al-Balah Governorate by Locality 2004- 2006 Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics〕〔(Camp Profiles: Bureij ), UNWRA.〕 The camp was established in 1949 with a population of 13,000 Palestinians from the broader Gaza area. A small percentage of the refugees were housed in the British army barracks but the bulk of them were housed in tents.〔Morris, Benny, (second edition 2004 third printing 2006) ''The Birth Of The Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited'', Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-00967-7 p 467〕 The UNRWA built concrete homes in 1950 to replace the tents. Most of the refugees today, like those in most camps in the Gaza Strip today, live in densely populated buildings. The camp does not have a sewage system and most waste accumulates in the Wadi Gaza, a stream north of the camp, and as a result poses a health hazard. Most of the camp's water comes from an Israeli water company.〔Dawn Chatty and Gillian Lewando Hundt (2005) ''Children of Palestine: Experiencing Forced Migration in the Middle East'' Berghahn Books, ISBN 1-84545-120-1 p 257〕 Bureij has six primary and two secondary schools with a population of 9,306 pupils at the end of 2004. All schools are operated by the UNRWA. ==Incidents in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict== On the night of 28 August 1953 bombs were thrown through the windows of huts in which refugees were sleeping and, as they fled, they were attacked by small arms and automatic weapons. According to Gelber, after one month of Unit 101 starting training "a patrol of the unit 〕 According to Bishara 43 Palestinian civilians with seven women amongst them were killed, and 22 wounded.〔( A lifetime credo, Azmi Bishara, Al-Ahram, 4-10 September 2003 )〕 The Mixed Armistice Commission report put the total at " 20" killed and twenty-seven seriously wounded and thirty-five less seriously wounded. Unit 101 suffered two wounded soldiers. Ariel Sharon, who had personally led the attack wrote in his report: :"The enemy opened fire on me from the northwest... I decided that it was better to pass through the camp and slip out the other side than to go back the way I came, because crops, gardens, barbed wire and guards made it difficult to move in that direction... I also decided that offensive action was better than giving the impression that we were attempting to escape... Therefore I invaded the camp with my group."〔 The raid was heavily condemned by the Mixed Armistice Commission, who called it “an appalling case of deliberate mass murder”, the raid was publicly criticized in the Israeli cabinet by at least one minister. The Mixed Armistice Commission, in an emergency meeting, adopted by a majority vote a resolution according to which the attack was made by a group of armed Israelis. Major General Bennike Chief of Staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization stated that it was "probable in view of the fact that a quarter of the Israel complaints during the preceding four weeks referred to infiltration in this area" that the likely explanation was a "ruthless reprisal raid".〔(UN Doc S/630 ) of 27 October 1953〕 On 22 August 1988, Hani al-Shami from Bureij was killed by Israeli soldiers from the Givati Brigade.〔Noam Chomsky, Donaldo P.
