“Last resort”: Young German activists stage hunger strike for climate

Description

On a stretch of grass between the Reichstag and the chancellery in central Berlin, six young people have been quietly camping in a cluster of tents since late August -- and refusing to eat. For the young activists, their hunger strike is "the last resort to draw attention to the extreme seriousness" of the climate crisis.
