More than a dozen students at Princeton University said they were ending their hunger strike amid continued anti-Israel demonstrations at the university.
Students at Princeton University protesting Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza have called an end to their hunger strike after just 10 days.
Princeton Divest Now, the student protest group that is calling for the New Jersey Ivy League university to divest from America’s Middle Eastern ally due to the high civilian death toll in the Gaza Strip, said additional strikers would be continuing their efforts.
„Due to health concerns of the 13 strikers who fasted for 10 days, the first hunger strike wave ended, and the second wave has begun,“ it wrote in a post shared on Instagram.
It added: „In the tradition of rotary strikes, seven new strikers are indefinitely fasting for a free Palestine.“
The end of the „hunger strike“ came after members initially vowed not to eat or drink again until a pair of demands were met.
