Around 100 people are said to have gathered at a pro-Palestine encampment set up over the weekend at University College Dublin (UCD).

Since Saturday, students have set up tents and banners around the lake at the Belfield campus in solidarity with Palestinians who are being displaced from their homes in Gaza.
