A memorial event was held in the central Markt Square in Den Bosch on Sunday, to commemorate Palestinian children and journalists who were killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza, Anadolu reports.
Photographs and names of journalists killed in the attacks were displayed in the square, and thousands of children’s shoes were placed across the area as part of the commemoration.
The Plant an Olive Tree Foundation organized the event, during which volunteers distributed brochures and informed passersby about the situation in Gaza.
Esther van der Most, director of the Plant an Olive Tree Foundation, told Anadolu that the gathering was held to advocate for Palestinians’ right to live in safety, grow old with dignity, and lead their lives freely and without fear.
Van der Most said that “genocide” is taking place not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank. She questioned how a ceasefire could be discussed while people are still being killed every day and cited the recent death of a seven-month-old baby named Sam in the West Bank.
