Hebrew · Sole source

The population of the Gaza Strip has grown by an estimated 43,000 people since the start of the current war, according to data from Hamas's Ministry of Health. The figures show 74,000 deaths from Israeli attacks and 137,041 births by September 20, alongside an estimated 17,000-20,000 natural deaths. The article presents this demographic increase as a contradiction to claims of genocide.

  • Gaza's population increased by 43,000 since the war began, per Hamas health data.
  • Hamas health ministry reports 74,000 deaths from Israeli attacks.
  • 137,041 births were recorded in Gaza by September 20.
  • An estimated 17,000-20,000 natural deaths also occurred.
  • Ron Dermer's statements are referenced in relation to the data.

According to data released by Hamas's Ministry of Health in Gaza, the population of the Gaza Strip has increased by approximately 43,000 people since the beginning of the current conflict. The figures, referenced in relation to statements made by Ron Dermer, indicate that 74,000 Gazans have been killed in Israeli attacks since the war began.

During the same period, up to September 20 of this year, there were 137,041 births recorded in the Gaza Strip. Additionally, an estimated 17,000 to 20,000 natural deaths occurred due to old age and illness, though official figures for this category are unavailable.

When combining the reported deaths from Israeli attacks with the estimated natural deaths and the number of births, the data suggests a net population growth. The article sarcastically refers to this demographic trend as "the most failed genocide in human history."
