According to sources, the camp that was bombed is located in the Tal al-Sultan area, west of the city of Rafah. 

A large number of bodies were recovered, the majority of whom were children and women, arrived at the Tal al-Sultan clinic.

Al Jazeera's correspondent revealed that ambulance crews were unable to recover the charred bodies as a result of the Israeli bombing of the camp.
