Rafah belt Palestinjana fin-Nofsinhar tal-Medda ta' Gaża. Hija l-kapitali tal-gvernatorat ta 'Rafah u tinsab 30 kilometres (19 mi) fin-nofsinhar ta 'Gaża, fuq il-fruntiera ma' l-Eġittu ( qsim ta 'Rafah). Il-popolazzjoni ta' Rafah hija 171,899 (2017), fil-biċċa l-kbira magħmula minn refuġjati Palestinjani ospitati f'żewġ kampijiet tar-refuġjati, Camp Canada (As-Sultan) fit-tramuntana u Camp Rafah fin-nofsinhar.
Meta l-Iżrael irtira mis -Sinaj fl-1982, il-belt ta 'Rafah kienet maqsuma f'parti ta' Gaża u parti Eġizzjana, li tifred il-familji, separati minn barrieri tal-wajer imxewwek. [1] [2] Iċ-ċentru tal-belt ġie meqrud minn Iżrael [3] [4] [5] u l-Eġittu [6] [7] biex tinħoloq żona ta 'lqugħ.
Rafah huwa s-sit tal- qsim tal-fruntiera ta' Rafah, l-uniku punt ta' qsim bejn l-Eġittu u l- Istat tal-Palestina . L-uniku ajruport ta’ Gaża, l-Ajruport Internazzjonali Yasser Arafat, kien jinsab fin-nofsinhar tal-belt; operat biss mill-1998 sal-2001, meta kien ibbumbardjat u mwaqqa’ mill- Armata Iżraeljana (IDF) b’ritaljazzjoni wara l-qtil ta’ suldati Iżraeljani minn membri tal-Ħamas .
Matul is-snin Rafah kien magħruf bħala " Robihwa " mill-Eġizzjani tal-qedem, "Rafihu" mill- Assirjani, "Ῥαφία, Rhaphia " [8] mill- Griegi, " Raphia " mir- Rumani, רפיח " Rafiaḥ " mil -Lhud, "Rafh" mill- Kalifat Għarbi.
