The number and status of African migrants in Israel is disputed and controversial, but it is estimated that at least 70,000 refugees mainly from [[Eritrea]], [[Sudan]], [[South Sudan]], [[Ethiopia]], and the [[Ivory Coast]] reside and work in Israel. A count in late 2011 published in Ynet pointed out the number only in Tel Aviv is 40,000, which represents 10 percent of the city's population. The vast majority live in the southern parts of the city. There is a significant population in the southern Israeli cities of Eilat, Arad, and Beersheba.
