Erdoğan said that tens of thousands of Palestinians, most of them women and children, had lost their lives in Gaza over the past three years, drawing attention to the ongoing humanitarian devastation in the region.
Erdoğan said that people in Gaza were still searching for their loved ones beneath the rubble and that families were trying to recover the bodies of their spouses, children and parents from under the debris.
