Family members waiting for word about their loved ones on the missing flight threaten hunger strike

Family members of Chinese passengers who were travelling on the missing MH370 flight have said they will go on hunger strike if more information is not released by Malaysian officials.

The majority of those on the Malaysia Airlines plane, which went missing 11 days ago, were from China and many relatives in the country have now grown tired of waiting for answers.

‘Relatives are very unsatisfied. So you hear them saying “hunger strike”,’ said Wen Wancheng, whose son was on the flight, which had 239 people on board.

‘Now we have no news, and everyone is understandably worried. The relatives say they will go to the (Malaysian) embassy to find the ambassador.’
