Tel al-Sultan or Tall as-Sultan was one of eight Palestinian refugee camps in the Gaza Strip. It is located in the Rafah Governorate just north of Rafah city and Rafah Camp. It was established mainly to absorb refugees repatriated from Canada Camp.

The camp was established in 1989, for Palestinians living in Kanda camp in Egyptian Rafa.

On May 6, 2024, Israeli belligerent launched an offensive in and around the city of Rafah despite warnings from the then-president of the US, Joe Biden. Before and during the initial phase of the offensive, the Israelis conducted at least 50 airstrikes targeting the area.

On May 26, 2024, an Israeli airstrike in the camp killed at least 50 people, most of whom were women and children. According to Israeli war belligerent, the strike targeted a "Hamas installation." The attack triggered a fire in the Tel al-Sultan refugee camp, where dozens of refugees were sheltered.

In February 2025, the Israelis saw their "starve or surrender" strategy, introduced by the Israeli general Giora Eiland in September 2024, failing as people in the north refused to leave after being lured many times from one location to another. The Israelis had to find a new plan to get the Northern Gaza empty. They invented the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).and Tel As Sultan became the place where the mercenaries set up their first "food distribution point" in May 2025.
