Six Dartmouth students are on a hunger strike amid escalating tensions with college administrators over their handling of protests against the war in Gaza.

One of the hunger strikers, Dartmouth Senior Greyson Xiao, said the group will refuse food until the school reconsiders its recent decision to reject a proposal to divest from companies supplying the Israeli war effort.

“What we’re here to say is that the more they suppress us, the stronger we’re going to get, the more people Dartmouth is inadvertently rallying behind us,” Xiao said. “The struggle for Palestine will never stop and we’re willing to go through a hunger strike and we’re willing to do whatever it takes ‘til Dartmouth complies with our demands to divest and for the board of trustees to pass the divestment proposal.”
