    "Palestinians have been protesting for weeks now that their land has been taken by the separation barrier," he said.

    Chater explained that the barrier was built to protect six Israeli settlements.

    "Since last Friday, 35 people had been injured from rubber bullets and 100 from tear gas fired at the villages directly into their houses and the local medical centre has been running out of supplies," Chater said.
