Norway’s prime minister says the Israeli army’s response to the deadly Hamas attack that killed 1,400 people and saw over 230 abducted by terrorists has been disproportionate, and denounces a “catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Gaza.

The Demographics don’t back that up. It seems more like those who can emigrate away from the Strip as soon as they can and those who stay have had an incredibly high birth rate. That’s why the strip has almost doubled in population since 2000.
That’s Wikipedia. And with a reported death rate around 600 per 100,000 they’re either the healthiest country in the world or these numbers are highly suspect.
It could be that way, but the historical numbers are from the PCBS they could be wrong systemically; but I don’t know of a better source.
It still smells like a massive undercount. If you gave me that number for a Western country it would be ridiculous too. It’s just not a realistic number.
Do you have a better source, or an explanation for why this agency would lie?
Nope. Sometimes we just don’t have good data.
It seems more like if the number had agreed with your assertion instead of refuted it you’d have accepted the source as generally accurate.
