City square filled with shoes to highlight number of children killed in Gaza

The Dutch city of Breda became a symbol of the cost of war on Saturday, when activists filled the city’s Kasteelplein square with thousands of pairs of shoes to show the number of children killed in Gaza. Drone footage captured the sea of tiny shoes, while activists read out the names of children killed during Israel’s war in Gaza. ‘I think it is really heartbreaking to see it, and really to feel what’s actually going on in the world,’ said one attendee. Another commented, ‘it’s just so awful to think that they might be killed at any time. But not only them, but the whole Palestinian people are under threat of being murdered and their houses and their lives - everything is being destroyed. This needs to end.’
