University College Cork (UCC) has announced a series of measures to support Palestinian students and has condemned the "heinous and abhorrent" ongoing conflict in Gaza.

On Tuesday, UCC Students' Union delivered a letter to university president John O'Halloran, asking the university to condemn the genocide in Gaza and call for a permanent ceasefire, while also providing support to Palestinian students affected by the war.
