UCU is a supporter of FFIPP, the Faculty for Israeli-Palestinian Peace, which is a network of network of Palestinian, Israeli, and International academics and reseachers working for an end to the occupation and for a just peace. In Gaza in particular, universities have been closed for prolonged periods and students prevented from traveling to university to study. Universities in Gaza are also starved of resources. As part of their work to promote academic freedom in the occupied territories, FFIPP are collecting books and donations to help buy study resources. You can help by

• donating books (English is widely used) - all kinds and levels welcome, but introductory textbooks are particularly needed - up-to-date and in excellent condition please
• donating money -- so that we can buy books that are specifically requested and contribute to shipping costs;
• acting as a local agent - as a focal point for donations in your college, university or department.
