{{Relatives of the Chinese passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight have threatened a hunger strike if the Malaysian authorities fail to provide more accurate information.}}<\/p>\n

Families vented their anger at a meeting with the airline in Beijing.<\/p>\n

Officials in Malaysia say they are trying to narrow the search area, which now covers about 2.24m square nautical miles (7.68m sq km).<\/p>\n

Flight MH370 went missing on 8 March with 239 people on board.<\/p>\n

Some 25 countries are involved in looking for the plane.<\/p>\n

A total of 153 Chinese nationals were on board the missing aircraft, which was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.<\/p>\n

China’s state media has been criticising the Malaysian operation.<\/p>\n

{{‘Political fight’}}<\/p>\n

Some Chinese relatives have said they believe the Malaysian authorities are holding information back and have demanded more clarity.<\/p>\n

After a meeting with officials from Malaysia Airlines on Tuesday, families held a vote on organising a hunger strike.<\/p>\n

“What we want is the truth,” said one woman.<\/p>\n

“Don’t let the passengers become the victims of a political fight.”<\/p>\n
