Erdogan’s Wife Calls Gaza World’s Largest Orphanage, Children’s Graveyard
Emine Erdogan on Tuesday highlighted the dire conditions faced by children in Gaza on Protective Families’ Day and condemned the continuous attacks on the Palestinian enclave by the Israeli regime.
She demanded global solidarity to protect and support vulnerable populations.
She said at least 17,000 children have been left without their families in Gaza and have nowhere safe to go.
“Today, it is heartbreaking that, in various parts of the world, children are living under terrible conditions, struggling to survive, left alone experiencing a nurturing family environment,” said Erdogan.
She outlined the severity of the situation, noting that 4,000 children are believed to be trapped under the rubble or missing.
Erdogan said that Palestinian children, who have been subjected to atrocities by Israel that no conscience can justify, have opened wounds that will not heal the souls of all the children of the world.
