Afro-Palestinians
Afro-Palestinians are Palestinians of black African heritage. A minority of Afro-Palestinians, who number around 350-400, reside in an African enclave around the Bab al-Majlis, in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem. Some of the community dwell in other areas of Jerusalem such as Beit Hanina and A-Tur.
