Who are Jerusalem's Christians? Why are they saying Easter is under threat?

Jerusalem is at the center of international news currently amidst claims that Israel is acting "heavy handedly" and imposing tough "restrictions" on Orthodox Christian worship at Jerusalem. 

The media coverage is referring to a crowd control limit which Israel has decided to impose on worshippers at the famous Church of the Holy Sepulchre where Orthodox Christians hold a Holy Fire Ceremony on Easter Saturday every year.

Has this issue been covered fairly in the media? Why are church groups so opposed to the measures? And how many Christians live in Jerusalem anyway?
