A small group of students at the University of South Florida has ended its hunger strike in protest of the school’s investments in companies that support Israel in the war in Gaza.
The students announced Wednesday that although USF officials did not meet their demands, they are encouraging members to end the protest due to health concerns.
An undisclosed number of students sought hospitalization during the 17-day strike.
The demands included USF president Rhea Law publicly calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and the school’s divestment in Boeing, Hewlett-Packard, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Caterpillar.
