Tens of thousands of people dressed in red flooded the streets of The Hague on Sunday, demanding stronger action from the Dutch government against what they described as a “genocide” in Gaza.

The protest, organized by human rights groups including Amnesty International and Oxfam, formed a powerful "red line" march through the city, culminating at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The sea of red symbolized solidarity with the victims of the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and carried banners reading “Don’t look away, do something”, “Stop Dutch complicity”, and “Be silent when kids sleep, not when they die.” Many chanted slogans such as “Stop the Genocide” as they turned a central park into a striking visual protest under sunny skies.

Organizers called on the Dutch government to take urgent steps to hold Israel accountable, especially following the government’s recent collapse on June 3 after the far-right party exited the coalition.

“People in Gaza cannot wait, and the Netherlands has a duty to do everything it can to stop the genocide,” organizers stated in their official appeal.

Among the protestors was 67-year-old pensioner Dodo Van Der Sluis, who told AFP: “It has to stop. Enough is enough. I can’t take it anymore. I’m here because this is maybe the only thing you can do now as a Dutch citizen—but it’s something you have to do.”

This marks one of the largest pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the Netherlands in recent history. A previous protest in The Hague on May 18 reportedly drew over 100,000 participants—described by organizers as the country's biggest demonstration in two decades.

Dutch police did not release official crowd estimates for either event.
