Wait, where did the .49% figure come from? I can't see it in the article

Even if you take the remaining 1.5m that have not ~~escaped~~ been displaced from gaza that the article indicates, you're still looking at a discrepancy of a couple of orders of magnitude. Am I missing something?

Well

the United Nations said that more than 1.5 million people, which is more than half of Gaza’s population, have been displaced.

I guess OP said 10,000 / 3,000,000 = 1/300 = .33% so a bit lower but maybe 3 Million is approximate?

Google says 2.048 population so 1/204.8 which is 0.48%
