Students at Harvard University in the US have named one the institution's halls after Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh to mark the second anniversary of her death after she was shot by Israeli snipers while reporting in the occupied West Bank.
Students have set up pro-Palestine encampments at over 100 US universities across 46 states since Columbia students started the first encampment on 17 April.
"Shireen Abu Akleh Hall" is the latest academic hall to be renamed after Palestinians killed by Israel. Students at Columbia University occupied its Hamilton Hall and renamed it after Hind Rajab, a five-year-old child who was killed by Israel in January.
