Some students at McGill University in Montreal have not eaten any solid food for 34 days. Others observe a fast for three to five days under the supervision of nursing or medical students.
The students refuse to allow their tuition fees to contribute to providing Israel with weapons and equipment to fight in the Gaza Strip. This university has in fact invested 13 million euros in companies like Lokheed Martin, which sells combat planes to the Israelis, or in the French defense company Safran. For the moment, the institution refuses to meet the group of protesters.
