Shuafat

Shuafat ( ), also Shu'fat and Sha'fat, is a Palestinian Arab neighborhood of East Jerusalem, forming part of north-eastern Jerusalem. Located on the old Jerusalem- Ramallah road about three miles north of the Old City, Shu'fat has a population of 35,000 residents.

Next to the Shu'fat neighbourhood there is a refugee camp of the same name, which was established by king Hussein of Jordan in 1965 to house Palestinian refugees from the Jerusalem, Lydda, Jaffa and Ramleh areas, after the Mascar camp in the Jewish quarter of the Old City had been closed.

Shu'fat borders Pisgat Ze'ev and Beit Hanina on the north, Shu'fat refugee camp on the east, French Hill on the south, and Ramat Shlomo on the west. Shu'fat is located in the part of the West Bank which was included in the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem after its occupation in 1967.
