Utrecht Memorial Protest for Gazas Children - NLD

A woman stands and looks over rows of children’s shoes in Utrecht, the Netherlands on August 24, 2025. Dutch activist group Plant een Olijfboom marked a grim milestone by laying out thousands of children’s shoes in remembrance of the young lives lost in Gaza. Activists read aloud the names and ages of 19,000 children killed, a process that lasted nearly six hours. According to The Lancet, the current death toll in Gaza is likely a conservative estimate, with experts predicting that the final toll could reach into the hundreds of thousands.
