Palestinian refugees are being held at a camp operated by UNHCR near the border crossing of Al-Tanf. The crossing is located in the middle of barren desert, with no cities on either side for hundreds of miles. In the summer, daytime temperatures can soar above 130 degrees. Now, at the beginning of November, temperatures have already dropped below freezing at night.
