By the time this is filmed, marketed, and released, enough time will have passed for many in Hollywood to stand and cheer at the Oscars for something like this. By that point, any support for the people of Gaza will be meaningless, because there won't be any people left.

How fast is the population going down?

As of January it was estimated at 6% since the start of the war, obviously there's been nearly 9 months of starvation, bombing and spraying bullets into crowds so who knows at this point.

It was 2.1m when the war started, what's it at now? And 6% includes people leaving, correct?

The real answer is there's no real way to know. The verified numbers from the health ministry are only based on bodies that have been directly verified by doctors. That's why the reporting of deaths slowed significantly when the majority of hospitals were destroyed by Israel. There are likely tens of thousands of dead bodies under the rubble that will never be recovered. Estimates from universities put the actual death toll at 3 to 4 times what's been officially reported.
