So unless the MSM can provide other evidence that Gaza's population is over 2 million , they need to report this accordingly.
If they cant keep themselves in line then people will.
@AkomoCombine I was just about to ask about this because I read 2 million with half of them being children.
I wondered if numbers were inflated and I wondered why they wouldn’t get their children out of there when warned if safety is only 20 miles away.
This is an info graph from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), updated September 2023.
There are 2.2 million, give or take. This info graph focuses on poverty & mobility. Other UN data measures the population as 40% under 15, around 50% under 19.
Video & on-the-ground reports show civilians terrified because they don't know if IDF can be trusted. There *are* civilians hit while evacuating. None of this is as easy as it looks.
(I know. It would be *so* much easier for all our consciences if it were. We get frustrated and we want simple, decisive ways to apportion blame amid atrocity like this, because our humanity hurts to see humans hurting. It's a sign of our care for life, that we get so frustrated that everyone can't just "do the thing" to make it all end right away. It's a sign of a good heart to be upset.)
