> Former **Shortland Street** star Will Alexander has gone on hunger strike in protest over the Israel Gaza war.  
>  
> In a video posted online on Sunday, Alexander, who appeared in 36 episodes of the New Zealand soap, said his move had come as he didn’t “know how to live in a world in which children are killed in such horrific numbers and so blatantly against international law with the active support of the New Zealand government.”  
>  
> Alexander said in a statement accompanying the video that at yesterday’s Christchurch rally in support of Palestine, he started his hunger strike and vowed to continue until the government met three demands.   
>  
> “I am now in my second day of this zero calorie hunger strike and have no intention of stopping until my demands are met,” he said.
