Campus rallies erupt across US over Gaza

Multiple universities across the United States have erupted in protests against the escalation of the Palestine-Israel conflict.

Students have demanded their universities divest assets from Israel and seek to pressure the US government to rein in Israeli strikes on civilians in Gaza, which have killed more than 34,000 people.

Hundreds of arrests have been made, starting with the protests at Columbia University on April 18, when pro-Palestinian protesters, who are now still erecting encampments, took root on campus.
