Yes, but what's your definition of filled up?

UK has 280 people per km2

Egypt has 113 people per km2

Population density is a shit stat to use for this, most of Egypt is uninhabitable.

Egypt is literally a desert. Most of the country is uninhabitable. Do you propose they just start shoving refugees into the desert?

I mean generally able to absorb refugees. It's less a matter of current density, and more a matter of having resources, infrastructure and critically time to absorb them. Yes, I agree Europe and the US could do more.

Please tell me who to vote for to help. Biden is pretty pro Israel afaik. :(
