Since the Hamas attacks on Israel on 7 October, and the strikes on Gaza that have followed, many students at university in the UK have been struggling.

Some have experienced abuse driven by antisemitism or Islamophobia, and others are worried for their families and friends who are in the middle east.

The Communities and Securities Trust (CST) say they’ve seen an increase in antisemitic abuse on campuses across the UK, and Tell Mama, an organisation that monitors Islamophobia, says they have also seen an increase in abuse across the UK.
