For The Second Time, Over 150,000 People Marched In Red In The Hague To Protest Israel’s Genocide In Gaza
It came less than a month after more than 100,000 people marched through the city in a similar protest.
For the second time, more than 100,000 people marched in the Hague, the Netherlands, wearing red to urge the government to draw a “red line” against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
On Sunday, June 15, about 150,000 people marched a five-kilometer loop around the city center of the Hague to symbolically create the red line they say the government has failed to set to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
It came less than a month after more than 100,000 people marched through the city in a similar protest on May 18 that became the biggest demonstrations in the Netherlands in more than two decades.
The protest, organized by a coalition of human rights groups and aid agencies, including Amnesty International, Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam Novib and others, also passed by the International Court of Justice, which is deliberating on South Africa’s case against Israel committing genocide in Gaza.
“More than 150,000 people wearing red – and a vast majority of all Dutch – want concrete sanctions to stop the genocide in Gaza,” Oxfam Novib director, Michiel Servaes, said.
Since Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has killed more than 55,362 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and has blocked most humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.
