Sudanese refugees in Israel refers to citizens of Sudan who have sought refuge in Israel due to military conflict at home. In 2008, there were 4,000 Sudanese refugees in Israel, 1,200 from Darfur and the remainder Christians from South Sudan. The majority infiltrated through the Israeli-Egypt border. Most live in Tel-Aviv, Arad, Eilat 〔(Refugees background paper ). Sites.google.com. Retrieved on 13 May 2013.〕 and Bnei Brak.〔Lior, Ilan.

Retrieved on 13 May 2013.〕 ==History== The civil wars in Sudan that have been taking place on and off since 1955, the subsequent destabilization and economic collapse caused by the country's infrastructure and economy, and the fighting in Darfur, forced millions of Sudanese civilians to flee their homes and cities.〔(Global Statistics ). Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. Retrieved on 13 May 2013.〕 In 2006, largely owing to the extensive flow of Sudanese and Eritreans crossing into Israel by land from Egypt, Israel witnessed a significant rise in the number of asylum seekers. While in 2005 only 450 applications were registered, the number for 2008 had risen to 7,700. The increase in Sudanese entries to Israel since 2006 is attributed to a demonstration by Sudanese refugees outside UNHCR‘s offices in Cairo in 2005, where Egyptian police killed 28 asylum seekers. Sudanese asylum seekers also say that deteriorating asylum conditions and lack of durable solutions in Egypt has played a major role in their decision to come to Israel. Since the majority have been living in Egypt since the 1990s, their crossing into Israel can be described as a case of onward secondary movement.〔 Israel is also perceived as a bridge to Europe, and its strong economy compared to neighboring countries has encouraged asylum seekers to pursue their luck there.〔 In 2008–2009, around 30 migrants were shot and killed by Egyptian security forces as they attempted to cross into Israel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Karin )〕 In addition, many African migrants en route to Israel face torture, organ theft, rape and assault by traffickers in the Sinai who hold them for weeks, sometimes months, to demand more money. A survey of 284 migrants published in late February 2011 found that over half told of abuse by the smugglers that included being burnt, branded, hung by the hands or feet and raped.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/egypt-turmoil-cuts-african-migration-to-israel-1.346507 )〕 In 2012, due to a near-doubling in the flow of African seeking refugee status, Israel began building a fence along the border and publicized plans to build a detention facility for infiltrators.〔 In spite of the risks and abusive treatment by smugglers, smuggler networks run by Bedouin groups in the Sinai desert have transported growing numbers of Sudanese and other African asylum seekers across to Israel.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sudanese in Israel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
