Title:# 14 KT. Population densities

Dear KT,

Gaza is not number 14 on the list of heavily populated areas in the world. The whole of the Occupied Territories ranks number 11, with 667 people per sq km. Gaza on its own with a population of 1.5 million in 360sq km would rank number four globally with 4,166 people per sq km, just behind Monaco, Singapore and Gibraltar. Gaza is 14 times as heavily populated per sq km as Israel.

It is fair to say then, that Gaza is one of the most heavily densely populated areas in the world, and the IDF and its apologists think it is humane to fire artillery, rockets, and mortars into this zone. The actions we have witnessed in the last 17 days are crimes against humanity, and they will be answered for.

Regards
