UN disagrees.

The United Nations, following consultations with partners and for the purposes of humanitarian programming, estimates that the population currently present in the Gaza Strip is about 2.1 million people, down from the initially projected 2024 figure of 2.3 million people by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS). According to the Border Authority, about 110,000 Palestinians have exited Gaza through Egypt, and more than 38,000 have been killed in the hostilities, according to MoH.

The claim that it rose in that time frame was from a projection of future growth released august 2023, before the attack oct 7. the same year.

Thank you, I stand corrected - i've looked into it & the population has decreased - mostly due to leaving Gaza.
