UCLA pro-Palestine encampment sent out request for vegan and gluten-free food and zip ties

The pro-Palestine encampment at UCLA sent out demands for vegan and gluten-free food as they rebuild their barricades after a night of violent clashes with counter-protesters and authorities. 

The list of requested items, first reported by Fox News, included 'urgent' demands for 'wood for barrier', 'knee and elbow pads' and 'gas masks.' 

Under a list of food requirements to be delivered to the camp the protesters requested 'vegan food', 'gluten free food' and 'hot food for lunch'.

A list of banned foods include anything packaged, coffee, bagels, bananas and nuts. 

The protesters also cautioned that all donations must be 'BDS compliant'.

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement is attempting to coordinate boycotts of any product or company that is linked to or supports Israel. 

Other demands included sleeping pads, rope, zip ties and Aquaphor balm. 

Violence and chaos engulfed UCLA's campus last night as pro-Israel protesters clashed with the pro-Palestine protesters currently encamped on the grounds. 

'Horrific acts of violence'  devolved into 'all-out brawls' which also saw a firework thrown into a crowd of people on Tuesday night. 

The violence at UCLA began when a group of pro-Israel activists showed up on campus with the intention of removing the anti-Israel and pro- Palestine camp, KTLA reported. 

The broadcaster said that the pro-Israel side threw a firework at the protesters and deployed 'what may have been bear spray.'

Local media broadcasts showed the protesters cowering, covering themselves with umbrellas from the spray. So far, at least one person was taken away by an ambulance for treatment.

At around 12:30am, after hours of confrontations and violence, Mayor Karen Bass confirmed that the LAPD had been called in.

Helmeted riot police were pictured arriving on the UCLA campus in their protective gear as they tore down barriers and attempted to enter the pro-Palestinian encampment.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators were then engulfed in tear gas as they tried to regroup and rebuild their barricade.

Around 100 pro-Israel counter-protesters attempted to seize the barricade and stormed the ongoing Palestine solidarity encampment in Dickson Plaza, UCLA's student newspaper the Daily Bruin reported. 

'As police stand watching the demonstrations and skirmishes between protesters, more and more officers are filing behind them, some wearing has masks. A few officers are standing near Haines Hall' the newspaper wrote on X. 

The account added: 'Police on scene remain at a standstill watching a chaotic scene at Dickson Plaza. 'Resistance is justified when Palestine is occupied!' shout protesters through a megaphone.

The newspaper reported that some counter demonstrators chanted 'USA, USA!' as they followed police to the encampment site.

The Los Angeles Police Department said on X that it was responding at the university's request due to 'multiple acts of violence' within the large protest encampment.

In an email sent by the vice chancellor of strategic communications at the school, Mary Osako reportedly wrote: 'Horrific acts of violence occurred at the encampment tonight.

'The fire department and medical personnel are on the scene. We are sickened by this senseless violence and it must end'.

Colombia University students in New York also made demands for food and water to be delivered to their encampments. 

One students even claimed the school was blocking their access to 'humanitarian aid' by not doing so. 

Students pleaded for 'basic humanitarian aid' to be delivered to those illegally occupying Hamilton Hall and said it was the schools' responsibility to ensure they had access to food and water.

Protesters are demanding that Colombia divest from companies with ties to Israel or firms profiting from its war on Hamas.

More than 100 activists have already been arrested at the school since the encampment began.
