At least 50 swimmers have been pulled from the North Sea at the seaside resorts of Kijkduin and Scheveningen in The Hague over the past two days, Nos tv reports.

Thirty-one people were rescued on Wednesday alone and two, a 16-year-old girl and 20-year-old woman, are still in hospital.
Many people are getting into trouble because the north-easterly wind is causing strong currents at low tide, police told Nos.
