Palestinian-American lawyer offers free help to campus protesters
Palestinian-American lawyer Alice Sakakini-Ashkar said she will represent free-of-charge any US campus protesters that are having legal or visa problems as a result of being arrested for protesting 'in support of Palestine, in support of ceasefire and to end the genocide'. Sakakini-Ashkar is urging any protester who finds themselves facing such immigration status issues to contact her office and says it's the least she can do 'to say thank you for supporting my people'. Some 300 students have already been arrested so far at universities in New York alone, where Sakakini-Ashkar is based, for taking part in pro-Palestine campus protests.

US surgeon in Gaza says nothing prepared him for scale of injuries
A US vascular surgeon who left Gaza after a stint as a volunteer said on Wednesday that nothing had prepared him for the scale of injuries that he faced there. Dozens of patients a day. Most of them young. Most facing complicated injuries caused by shrapnel. Most ending up with amputations. “Vascular surgery is really a disease for older patients and I would say I had never operated on anybody younger than 16, and that was the majority of patients that we did this time around,” Shariq Sayeed, from Atlanta, Georgia, told Reuters in Cairo. “Most were patients 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 years of age.
