pdq: "In 1970 the birth rate in Gaza was 9 live births per adult female. Perhaps the highest in modern history. Even the worst case in recent years, Kenya, was 8 live births per female"

I think I know what you mean - i.e such a high birthrate might be seen as a bad thing to those with few resources to care for the born. But especially in recent years I have come to see the birth of any baby as a source of celebration and joy.
