More than 100,000 people gathered in The Hague on Sunday to demand their government do more to halt Israel’s atrocities in Gaza, in what was the largest demonstration in the Netherlands in two decades.
The rally, held at Malieveld Square, was organised by a broad coalition of international and local NGOs under the banner “Draw the Red Line for Gaza.”
The streets of The Hague were filled with people of all ages, from the elderly to young children — all dressed in red.
Human rights groups and aid agencies, including Amnesty International and Save the Children, reported that over 100,000 attended the rally.
Israel’s blockade on food, medicine and other essential supplies to Gaza has now entered its third month, with global food security experts warning of famine across the territory, home to more than two million people.
