The New Arab visited the University of Sheffield in the UK last Wednesday as students set up a pro-Palestinian encampment.

Protests have been seen at universities in the US, France, Lebanon, and beyond amid Israel's war on Gaza since mid-April.

The local edition of student news website The Tab quoted a university spokesperson as saying a "small number of people have pitched tents in front of our students' union following a planned protest".

"We support the right of our students to express their views peacefully and within the law and planned campus activities will continue as normal," the spokesperson added.
