Istanbul, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stressed that those who are being killed in the Gaza Strip today are not only children and infants, but all of humanity in all its concepts.
Erdogan said in a message he sent via the X platform today, Tuesday, on the occasion of the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, which the United Nations celebrates on June 4 of each year: “Those who are being killed in Gaza are not only children and infants but humanity, and unfortunately the world has not passed this test.”
The Turkish President called on all countries to protect the dignity of humanity and the children of Gaza and to take a public stand against the Israeli barbarism that is outside the law and control.
He added: “On the occasion of the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, I sadly remember more than 15,000 children who were brutally killed in Gaza since October 7th.
Erdogan called on the United Nations to take concrete steps against the killing of inn
ocent children in Gaza with bombs for months, and to act according to the concept that the world is bigger than five / referring to the permanent members of the Security Council /.
He stressed that Turkey “will continue to extend a helping hand and work hard wherever there is an oppressed or persecuted person in the world, especially Gaza, and wherever children are killed and tested by hunger and poverty, based on its belief that achieving a more just world is possible.”
Earlier today, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that children in Gaza are going through an endless nightmare, and that the bombing, forced displacement, lack of food and water, and lack of access to education have traumatized an entire generation.
The Israeli war on Gaza has left more than 119,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and about 10,000 missing amid massive destruction and famine it has claimed the lives of hundreds of children and elderly people.
Israe
l continues this war, ignoring a Security Council resolution calling for an immediate end to the fighting, and orders from the International Court of Justice calling for an end to its attack on Rafah, and for immediate measures to prevent acts of “genocide” and “improve the humanitarian situation” in Gaza.
