$200K Raised for Slain Muslim Students

For charity to help Syrian refugees.

More than $200,000 has been raised for the charity campaign that three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, were working on before they were murdered. Dental student Deah Shaddy Barakat had sought to raise $20,000 for a trip to Turkey to provide dental care to Syrian refugees. At the time of his death on Tuesday evening, he had not met his goal. Now the campaign has raised 10 times that amount in the past 24 hours. Funeral services were held for Barakat along with his wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, in Chapel Hill on Thursday afternoon.
