1. Very glad I don't live in Bangladesh

But Gaza certainly has a lot of people crammed onto a small amount of land.

Thanks for posting.

3. That is not Gaza, but rather Gaza City

4. And when another million are crammed into the south, perhaps permanently, Gaza will look like

Bangladesh. It’s hard to imagine living like that.

5. New York City had an estimated population density of 29,302.37 inhabitants per square mile

6. Some interesting population density maps of the region

And yes, Behind The Aegis is right that the 21,000/sq mile is the Gaza City area, not all of Gaza.

One interesting snip:

Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are both crowded cities – Jerusalem’s population is the densest across the region. While Tel Aviv is less dense than Gaza City, the Jerusalem area has an estimated 21,988 people per square mile, slightly higher than Gaza City’s 21,034.

=====================================

The Gaza strip's population density is 15,371 per square mile
