For
a lot of time I used to read about the Gaza strip overpopulation, and I
used to believe that the overpopulation really is that bad.
However, today I read a blog about it. It's in Spanish so what I'm doing is taking the idea and writing it in English.
People always talk about how bad the overpopulation in Gaza. So lets analyze it.
The Gaza Strip has a territory (most of it urban) of 360 kmē. And Gaza city has a territory of 151 kmē. Lets see. In the 2007, Gaza Strip had about 1,482,405 habitants. That would be 4117 habitants per square kilometer. Pretty much. Right?
Well not really. Lets check some other countries.
Monaco:
16,620 habitants per square kilometer.
Singapore: 6,369 habitants per square kilometer.
Hong Kong: 6,356 habitants per square kilometer.
Why nobody cries over the overpopulation in those places? They are way more overpopulated.
But now to be fair to the people where all the conflict occurs, lets compare Gaza city to other cities on the world:
In 2006, it had 409,680 habitants, and a territory of 151 kmē. That would be 2713 habitants per square kilometer.
Pretty much. Right?
Well Mumbai, India, has 29,650 habitants per square kilometer.
Karachi, Pakistan, has 18,900 habitants per square kilometer.
Shenzhen, China, has 17,150 habitants per square kilometer.
But hey they all are in countries known for their overpopulation! Well not really:
Sao Paulo, Brazil: 9,000 habitants per square kilometer.
St Petersburg, Russia: 8,550 habitants per square kilometer.
Mexico City, Mexico: 8,400 habitants per square kilometer.
Santiago, Chile: 8,400 habitants per square kilometer.
Madrid, Spain: 5,200 habitants per square kilometer.
London, UK: 5,100 habitants per square kilometer.
Tel Aviv, Israel: 5,050 habitants per square kilometer. (Wait a minute.
Tel Aviv more overpopulated than Gaza? NO WAI! IT'S A CONSPIRACY !).
Buenos Aires, Argentina: 4,950 habitants per square kilometer.
Los Angeles, USA: 2,750 habitants per square kilometer.
Munich, Germany: 3,100 habitants per square kilometer.
Paris, France: 3,550 habitants per square kilometer.
Bogota, Colombia: 13,500 habitants per square kilometer.
Athens, Greece: 5,400 habitants per square kilometer.
Warsaw, Poland: 4,300 habitants per square kilometer.
Berlin, Germany: 3,750 habitants per square kilometer.
Glasgow, UK: 3,250 habitants per square kilometer.
Even the city in which I lived was more overpopulated. Ashdod, Israel: 3406 habitants per square kilometer.
The city in which I live, Mar Del Plata, Argentina: 6,816 habitants per square kilometer.
So how exactly is Gaza THAT overpopulated? One of the most over populated places on earth? They don't even have place to walk ! Well their definition of walking must be different from what I know, because the people in Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, London, Paris, and Sao Paulo, are doing just great.
EDIT: Yusra just informed me that the Jabalya refugee camp in Northern Gaza, is indeed one of the most overpopulated places on earth. After a quick check, I confirmed that. Around 53 thousand habitants per square kilometer.
ye forgot to mention Istanbul..... They should do something about all those pigeons..... Gaza rules by the way, and screw overpopulation some Chinese guys needa reinvent condoms :haha:
Gaza is a centre of much conflict though.
People believe it is so Overpopulated because of the fact that many Jews worldwide moved there when it became the State of Israel, Most people also like to try and highlight that is was for that reason that it is so Overpopulated.
Those are not my views, Just the views of the average Human :\

But Gaza is a piece of Palestinian land (that belonged to Egypt until 1967 by the way) without Israelis :\ . There were 8600 settlers, and they all got kicked out by Israel in the 2005 since they were a barrier for peace.
What is correct is that Jabalia refugee camp in North Gaza is the most densely populated place on earth, where over 110,000 Palestinian refugees live in an area 1.5 square kilometres. They lost their homes in Southern Palestine (now Southern Israel) in 1948.

Thanks. Didn't know that. I'm editing the post right now.
i don't care overpopulation. but i think the fact why Gaza is so talked about overpopulation is because, Israel is invading the zone. SO? well, if you throw one little bomb there you kill a lot of people, because they are kinda... all together?
well, that's all.
Israel, get out of Gaza, please. stop killing innocent people!
