Palestinian women in the West Bank have initiated a hunger strike to protest the withholding of the body of Awdah, a 31-year-old Palestinian activist who was fatally shot. The women are demanding the return of Awdah's body so that his family can properly mourn and bury him according to their traditions. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the Israeli settler responsible for Awdah's death remains free. This has sparked outrage and fueled tensions in the region, with protesters calling for justice and accountability.
