Aida Refugee Camp in the occupied West Bank is the most exposed place to tear gas on the planet, according to a ground-breaking new study.The report by the Human Rights Centre of the University of California at Berkeley findsthat Israel's security forces are guilty of carrying out "widespread" 'frequent' and"indiscriminate" use of tear gas against Palestinian refugees.The study - which is said to be the first to analyse the effects of the use of tear gas in the West Bank - found that 100 per cent of residents surveyed in Aida refugee camp were exposed to tear gas.The report, titled No Safe Space: Health Consequences of Tear Gas Exposure Among Palestine Refugees, study was carried out in the summer of this year on Aida and Dheisheh refugee camps near Bethlehem.It is due to be released in full on Thursday but Al Jazeera has been given exclusive access to its findings."We found that the constant and unpredictable use of tear gas in Palestine refugee camps has a devastating effect on the mental and physical health of residents - especially the most vulnerable, including pregnant women, children, the elderly, and people already in ill health," said the report'sco-author Dr Rohini Haar, a researcher at UC Berkeley's Human Rights Center and a doctor with Physicians for Human Rights.Salman Abu Sitta: Jerusalem is Palestinianlonger than London is EnglishThe study reveals that refugee camps are among the most vulnerable to tear-gas exposure in the occupied Palestinian territories.It found that all of the 236 individuals surveyed in Aida Camp were exposed to tear gas in the past year, of which 84 percent were exposed in the home.Residents say the use of tear gas by the Israeli army was "primarily unprovoked".According to the study, residents of several refugee camps in the occupied Palestinian territory including Aida have reported exposure to tear gas two to three times a week for more than a year, but in some months, almost every day.Aida is home to some 6,400 Palestinian refugees living in area of just 0.017sq km, making it one of the most densely populated places in the world.Two years ago, an Israeli soldier was filmedwarning residents of the camp: "People of Aida refugee camp, we are the occupation forces. You throw stones, and we will hit you with gas until you all die. The children, the youth, the old people - you will all die.""I think it is really hard for people who are not sitting in Aida camp to understand the kind of levels of tear gas we are talking about," Dr Haar told Al Jazeera.She said the study shows "all body systemswere affected" as a result of frequent exposure to tear gas."People describe neurological systems like fainting or headaches, tingling, numbness and then nausea and vomiting, chest pains -everybody's system is affected by this," Dr Haar said.The Israeli army did not answer Al Jazeera's request for a comment on the findings of the study.However, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the body responsible for providing service to Palestinian refugees, has confronted the Israeli authorities with the report's findings.The study says the findings regarding the frequent use of tear gas by the Israeli army are consistent with media reports and UNRWA's documentation of ISF utilisation of these chemicals in the camps.US President Donald Trump's recognition ofJerusalem as Israel's capital on December 6 and the ensuing protests have increased the exposure of Palestinians to tear gas to an "almost daily occurrence", the study says.

West Bank (Judea and Samaria) was captured from young Israeli nation in 1948 by the Arab forces and armies of Jordan under the command of a British Gen. John Glubb. It was occupied by Jordan until the 1967 Israeli/Arab war when Israel recaptured the West Bank from Jordan. It is very necessary to embark on rudimentary research before a person exposes his/her ignorant.

The Palestinians should be relocated to another Arab country for their own benefit. There will never be a State of Palestine.The whole West Bank except Area A(18% of West Best), is in total control of State of Israel and as far as the Palestinians remain in West Bank,if they protest against Israel, they will be tear gased or killed.
