Afro-Palestinians are Palestinians of black African heritage. A minority of Afro-Palestinians, estimated population between 200-450, reside in an African enclave around the Bab al-Majlis,[1][2] in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem.[3][4] Some of the community dwell in other areas of Jerusalem such as Beit Hanina and A-Tur.[4]
There are also Bedouin populations outside Jerusalem who have descent lines linking them to people of African origin[5] such as in the West Bank city of Jericho or in Gaza.
