but the image is very much not what the term brings to mind.

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?

The refugees have been there since 1948. There are apartments and several generations of kids. The headline misleadingly makes them sound like they were displaced this month.

Still tragic that civilians were killed.

That's exactly what I think when I read "refugee camp". Tents for refugees to stay temporarily.
