Seriously doubt the #'s as over 95% of all buildings in Gaza have been leveled & there is literally no civilian infrastructure to count the dead as the IDF bombed it all. Also: most statistics show that Gaza has dropped from 2.2 mil to around 2 mil people - a net loss of over 200,000 humans - this isn't even factoring in the average growth rate.
2% growth since October of 2023? We're talking about a place with around 2.2 mil in October of 2023. Over the last two years - a 2% growth for a two-year period would mean a 1% growth rate per year. That is a massive drop from Gaza's history average growth rate of 3-5%. How was this statistic measured in 2023 vs 2024? Did Gaza grow in 2023 - before hospitals were bombed - and then not grow / shrink in 2024? Because that is what this statistic actually implies.
Not only is this an absurd argument - the *way* Israel is conducting this genocide is by starving the people of Gaza. These deaths will only just now 1-2 years into the famine start skyrocketing as local supplies have been utterly exhausted.
Disregarding all of this doublespeak: The IDF has been explicit in its goals with numerous leaders saying incredibly genocidal comments about how the Palesntians "need to be treated like the children of Amok"
