It’s hard to have a sense of scale at these numbers.

This camp would be the size of a pretty big town. Bigger than Boston or Antwerp for instance.

1M is bigger than Boston proper, but not the metro area (looks like close to 5M).

I interpreted as land area.. since the thread is about "hiding it from satellites". The rohinga camp in the picture is only about 3 miles x 2 miles.
