It should be noted that 'refugee camp' is a somewhat misleading term. These are functionally cities that are located where temporary camps were originally located. As refugee status is inherited by Palestinians, these are communities of legal refugees and thus, strictly speaking, refugee camps, but the image is very much not what the term brings to mind.
This is not to downplay the tragedy of civilian casualties; just providing some context that people may not know.

What I'm seeing and what you're describing is roughly what I would have expected. Did you think refugee camps are all tents or something?
That's exactly what I think when I read "refugee camp". Tents for refugees to stay temporarily.
