Sudanese in Israel

Sudanese in Israel refers to citizens of Sudan living in Israel, who have either sought refuge due to military conflict at home, or who have moved there illegally as irregular migrants. By the early 2020s, there were an estimated 4,000 Sudanese asylum seekers in Israel. The majority entered through the Israeli-Egypt border before the construction of the Egypt-Israel barrier in 2012. Most Sudanese live in urban areas like Arad, Ashdod, Bnei Brak, Eilat, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv.
