Determined students were celebrating yesterday after securing thousands of pounds to help a bright Palestinian escape Israel’s siege on Gaza and take up a scholarship at Sheffield University.
The University’s Palestine Society smashed through its £8,000 target — after just five days of fundraising.
The fundraisers’ efforts mean a student from Gaza, where universities have been damaged by Israeli bombardments, can study for master’s degree in Sheffield.

The people of Palestine need our solidarity in actions not words – trade unionists must give them our full support in their darkest hour, writes DANIEL KEBEDE
