The University of Sheffield Palestine Society launched an email storm movement demanding the university to end complicity in Apartheid.<\/p>\n

For the past two weeks, Gaza, Palestine, has been under attack by the Israeli military.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an initiative to support victims of the attack, on May 17, the Palestine Society put up an Instagram post requesting students to take part in an email storm demanding the institute to end their complicity in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.<\/p>\n

Nuha Mukhtar, 19, and the Fundraising officer of PalSoc (Palestine Society), said: \u201cThe initiative is to basically send a collective email to our university’s Vice-Chancellor demanding them to cut ties with complicit companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the current situation in Gaza, and the increased awareness of the issue, we are more hopeful that through this we can make a change.<\/p>\n
