Gaza and Qatar

The world today includes too much commentary and too few facts. I'm going to turn that around for this post. Here, for your consideration, is a list of facts without any commentary.

  • 5.09 children per woman (on average)
  • 17.6 years old - median age of resident
  • 44.5% of population is 14 years old or younger
  • 340,000 refugees 
  • 2.593 BN dollars in bilateral and multilateral aid
  • 675.2 $/person in aid (#1 in the world in per capita aid)

Qatar
  • 306.9 males per 100 females (highest ratio in the world)
  • 45.3% of all females are obese (1st highest in the world)
  • 2.6 marriages per 1000 people each year (2nd lowest in the world)
  • 0.8 divorces per 1000 people each year (14th lowest in the world)
