I love it when folks do those age bracket polls, then look at the results like "ooh, a third of this site's population is over thirty, Tumblr is full of old people" like, bro, half the world's population is over thirty – and the half that's under thirty includes huge numbers of people who can't use Tumblr on account of being too young to read. The fact that only a third of Tumblr's present users are over thirty means the site's population is still skewing exceptionally young.

I'm a biologist, and this is why hearing "50% of the population is children" should put the severity of Palestinian struggle into perspective for you.
Let's talk about Age Structure Graphs, aka "Population Pyramids."
Tumblr media
The way these graphs are structured is to show the trends in age/sex ratios and projected growth of a population over time. Males are on the right, females on the left, youngest at the base, oldest at the top.
Note where I have highlighted in green. If this space has a large gap, that means there is likely to be higher infant mortality, since a lot of children who are born do not reach their 5th birthday. A broad base and sharply tapering sides reflects high fertility rates and high mortality rates in younger age groups.

This is a population pyramid representing Palestine, from a World Health Organization publication regarding Covid-19 spread.
Based on what we discussed before, this graph tells us that a reasonable number of kids are born in Palestine, but an unreasonably high number of them also die before they grow up.
As a comparison, here is the US population pyramid, courtesy of the US Census Bureau.

When you hear "50% of the population in Gaza is children," please know what that means. It means many, many children in Gaza do not get to grow up.

The population of Coruscant/Trantor makes no sense. If you put the entire population density as that of Monaco, you can fill the land area with one big city of population 13T. This is huge. Also, this is monaco

For comparison, this is Coruscant, allegedly an ecumenopolis of population 1-2T:

So there are two options. One is that Coruscant is actually, like, almost entirely ocean and "one big city" encompasses a continent about the size of Australia, letting the population density go 10x that of Monaco, or the objectively funnier option, which is that it's one giant suburban sprawl. The Earth's land area at the population of the New York Metropolitan Statistical Area (5300/km2) is about 1T people.
These pictures are suburbs of NYC:
