Gaza: 35,000 People in Every Square Kilometer

CROSSFIREARABIA – The Palestinian Statistical Dept stated, Thursday, that the population density in the Gaza Strip is unprecedented with 35,000 people living in one square kilometer. These statistics were made on the occasion of the World Population Day which falls on 11 July of every year. The Department stated the situation in Gaza is difficult as around 2 million people live in a tight area that doesn’t exceed 36 percent of the original area of the enclave put at 365 square kilometers. The genocidal war on Gaza that began soon after 7 October, 2023 has resulted in the killing of more than 73,000 Palestinian and the injury of 173,000 with 90 percent of the infrastructure destroyed.  It also pointed out that the Israel war has created deep social disruptions as 58,000 children have lost one or more of their parents or both with the total number of widows exceeding 47,000.

    France has joined international demands for the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiye, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the Gaza Strip, who was detained by Israel, Foreign Ministry spokesman Pascal Confavreux said Thursday.

    Confavreux told reporters that France was aware of calls for Abu Safiye’s release.

    “In view of the extremely worrying information about his state of health, France joins international calls for his release on humanitarian grounds,” he said according to Anadolu.

    Confavreux said the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement should begin and that the Israeli army should withdraw from the territory.

    Abu Safiya was arrested Dec. 27, 2024, after the Israeli army raided the facility and forced him out at gunpoint after destroying the complex and putting it out of service.

    Nearly three years into Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine’s Gaza, only one-fifth of US adults believe Israel has not committed genocide against Palestinians, according to a new AP-NORC poll.

    About three in 10 Americans say it has, while roughly half say they do not know enough to say. Among Jewish Americans, 30% believe Israel has committed genocide, while 49% disagree.
