Afro-Palestinians are Palestinians of Black African heritage. In the Gaza Strip, around 1% of the population is estimated to be black, with roughly 11,000 Afro-Palestinians residing in Gaza City's Al Jalla’a district prior to October 2023.[1] In Jerusalem, an estimated population between 200-450 reside in a historic African enclave around Bab al-Majlis,[2][3] in the Muslim Quarter,[4][5] as well as communities in other areas of Jerusalem such as Beit Hanina and A-Tur.[5]
There are also Bedouin populations who have descent lines linking them to people of African origin[6] such as in the West Bank city of Jericho.
