How Big Is Gaza Cityの全貌を分かりやすくまとめてご紹介します。

First, the geography lesson – I promise it’s quick. Gaza City covers about 45 square kilometers.

That’s roughly 17 square miles. So, picture a square that’s about 4 miles long on each side. Now you’re getting the picture.

To put that in context: it’s smaller than Manhattan. Manhattan is about 23 square miles. Gaza City is like a little brother who got the slightly smaller room.

It’s also about the size of San Francisco (which is 47 square miles), but San Francisco has way more fog and sourdough. See? Tiny.

But Wait, There’s a Crowd

Here’s where it gets bonkers. That tiny 17 square miles? That’s home to over 600,000 people.

Yes, you read that right. Six hundred thousand humans, all squeezed into a space smaller than a typical US city. It’s like living in a mosh pit, but every single day.

The population density is insane. We’re talking 35,000 people per square kilometer. That’s over 90,000 people per square mile. For reference, New York City has about 27,000 people per square mile. Gaza City is a party no one asked to be at.
