The land now known as Israel, including Gaza and the West Bank, is their homeland. These people are refugees because they were driven out of their homes during the violent formation of Israel in 1948 and many of those who survived ended up in refugee camps in Gaza. Gaza is one small corner of their homeland. Over the course of 70 years or so, these refugee camps became entire cities because these people had nowhere else to live, for generations. So they were refugees in a small corner of the country that was once theirs. Then Israel destroyed even these cities.
