Ook onzin , het geboortecijfer in Gaza is niet hoger dan in landen met vergelijkbare armoede. Het zou juist enorm vreemd zijn als het geboortecijfer in
Gaza laag zou liggen.
Het heeft geen reet met kannonenvlees te maken.

But Gaza is a statistical oddity. Whereas its fertility rates are similar to those of desperately poor countries like Somalia, nutrition and health care are much better. This is largely because most Gazans receive prenatal and primary care for their children from the many nongovernmental organizations based there, especially in the United Nations-run refugee camps like Jabalya.
As a result, a much higher proportion of Gazan babies survive and live a long life. In Somalia, 122 of every 1,000 infants die before they reach their first birthday. In Gaza, that number is only 21. Somalians live only until their mid- to late 40's. Gazans' average life expectancy is 73.
This creates the unusually high rate of population growth in Gaza, which, judging from international statistics, is the highest in the world: over 4 percent a year.
