TORONTO – The Canadian coordinator of the Gaza Freedom March and three other activists ended their 30 hour hunger strike at 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, satisfied with the media and public attention they brought to the killing of humanitarian aid activists by Israeli Defense Forces the day before.

“Many times things like this happen and it goes unseen,” said Ruch, searing under the mid-day sunshine on the sidewalk outside the Israeli Consulate on Bloor Street.
