Gaza is impossibly crowded.
According to the available data, Gaza is 141 square miles and has a population of about 1.82 million. That's a population of density of 12.907 people per square mile.
In contrast, Singapore is much more crowded. It is 241 square miles in size, but has a population of about 4,492,150. That's a population of density of 18,639 people per square mile.
Look what Singapore has done with its population and look what Gaza's done with its population.
