Popular protests were organized in several Dutch cities, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Leiden, as well as smaller cities like Enschede, Groningen, and Eindhoven, in protest against the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, especially the worsening famine crisis.
Thousands of demonstrators gathered yesterday, Thursday, at major train stations, carrying cooking pots and spoons to create symbolic noise, aiming to highlight the blockade of humanitarian aid imposed on the region.
Participants also called on the Dutch government to take immediate action to end the crisis and to press for the opening of safe relief corridors.
