The physical and mental health of hunger strikers at the Church of the Beguinage in central Brussels and on the campuses of the VUB and ULB universities in the capital is deteriorating, the organisation Doctors of the World warned on Sunday.
There have been several suicide attempts in recent days, the organisation reported, and the kidneys of some of the hunger strikers are beginning to malfunction. "But the strikers refuse to give up until a comprehensive solution has been found," the association said.
More than 400 undocumented people went on hunger strike on 23 May to obtain collective regularisation. Some of them have now even started to refuse liquids.
