Description
Ramallah is a Palestinian city in the central West Bank located 10 kilometers north of Jerusalem, adjacent to al-Bireh. It currently serves as the de facto administrative capital of the Palestinian National Authority. With a population of nearly 27,092, Ramallah was historically a Christian town, but today Muslims form the majority of the population, with Christians still making up a significant minority.
