Once upon a time, there was a city called Rafah, nestled in Egypt’s North Sinai along the enchanted shores of the Mediterranean. It was the royal seat of the North Sinai Governorate, presiding as the Rafah Border Crossing, a bridge of sorts between the mortal realm and the Gaza Strip. However, as time took its toll, the year 2015 brought the ominous news of the Egyptian government’s plan to tear down 7,460 buildings in the once-charming city. By the year 2021, the Egyptian military completed this daunting task, expelling thousands, leaving many without their homes or the means to earn their daily bread.
