And yes, Behind The Aegis is right that the 21,000/sq mile is the Gaza City area, not all of Gaza.

One interesting snip:

Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are both crowded cities – Jerusalem’s population is the densest across the region. While Tel Aviv is less dense than Gaza City, the Jerusalem area has an estimated 21,988 people per square mile, slightly higher than Gaza City’s 21,034.

=====================================

The Gaza strip's population density is 15,371 per square mile
