Canada Camp was a Palestinian refugee camp in the northern Sinai near Rafah, formed in 1972 and evacuated in 2000. The Camp was named after the Canadian contingent of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF I), which formerly had a camp at the location. Most refugees were relocated to Tel al-Sultan in southern Gaza. ==Establishment== In the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel conquered the Sinai and the adjacent Gaza Strip. In 1970/71, Israel demolished homes in Rafah for road widening under the pretention of security measures.〔(''Population of Palestinian Refugees in Camps (official and unofficial), 31 March 2007'' ). 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)."〕〔(''Initial review: Canada Camp Relocation'' ). By Ron Wilkinson, Foreign Affairs Trade and Development Canada, May 2001 (doc). (Here available )〕 Sixteen thousand Palestinian refugees, a quarter of them in Rafah were forced to relocate when their shelters were destroyed by the Israeli authorities. At least two thousand of the displaced were moved to al-Arish, in the occupied Sinai, and several hundred to the West Bank.〔(''Razing Rafah'' ), Map 2: Rafah Features. HRW, October 2004〕 In 1972, the ''Canada Camp Housing Project'' was established in Egyptian Rafah, just across the international boundary with Sinai, initiated by the Israeli Government. UNRWA provided schooling and some medical care with staff who had also been stranded across the border. The refugees had no right to work in Egypt and were provided with food rations and minimal amounts of cash aid. 〔〔Talhami, G. H. 2003. Palestinian Refugees: Pawns to Political Actors. Nova Publishers, 2003 ISBN 1-59033-649-6, ISBN 978-1-59033-649-6 〕 This camp became known as "Canada Camp", named after the Canadian contingent of the UNEF, which formerly had a camp at the location. A similar housing project was developed in 1973 in the Gazan part of Rafah, called "Brazil Camp" after the Brazilian UNEF contingent.〔〔(''Canada Camp'' ). Foreign Affairs Trade and Development Canada, 29 April 2013〕 UNEF I was the first United nations Emergency Force, operating from November 1956 to June 1967 to serve as a buffer between the Egyptian and Israeli forces and supervise the ceasefire. It was withdrawn in May-June 1967, at Egypt's request.〔(''UNEF I'' ). United Nations〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canada Camp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
