Population increase in the Middle East, 1950 - 2024

SteevyKrikyFooky:

Before anyone starts to call out conspiracies because I included the Gaza Strip but not the West Bank.

The Gaza Strip has had a fairly homogenous population since 1950, data that makes it possible to track increase and give an estimated percentage. Gaza also never had a significant amount of Israeli settlers mixed up.

On the other hand, the West Bank was occupied by Jordan from 1948 to 1967, some Palestinians became Jordanians and moved there, some didn't. There's also the issue of East-Jerusalem, which was part of the WB before 1967. On top of that, there are the Israelis settlements there mixed up with the population. Anyway, I was not able to find one way to get a reliable number for an increase from 1950 to now.
