Gaza is densely populated because Israel has penned civilians in there with next to no way of escape. 1.8m forced into a tiny area, the borders to which are closed both north and south, there's a naval blockade in place to the west, the civilians live miserable lives in miserable conditions which are dictated by Israel, they have no consistent access to electricity or water, there's severe food shortages, their civilians are constantly in fear of persecution at the hands of Israel with Western backing. And people wonder why Hamas get so much support?
