The number and status of African refugees in Israel is disputed and controversial, but it is estimated that at least 16,000 refugees, mainly from [[Eritrea]], [[Sudan]], [[South Sudan]], [[Ethiopia]] and the [[Ivory Coast]], reside and work in Israel. A check in late 2011, published in Ynet reported that the number just in Tel Aviv is 40,000, which represents 10 percent of the city's population. The vast majority lives in the southern parts of the city. There is also a significant African population in the southern Israeli cities of Eilat, Arad and Beer Sheva.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}}
