"The possibility that concerns us is that tension would increase and spread to the region," Erdogan said on Friday, speaking at the annual Türkiye-Africa Business and Economic Forum. Cutting off the electricity, water, fuel, and food for 2 million people cramped in an area of 360 square kilometres in Gaza is a violation of most basic human rights, the Turkish president said.
Erdogan also reminded that planes carrying Turkish humanitarian assistance for residents of Gaza have landed in Egypt, saying:"We sent a humanitarian assistance plane to El Arish Airport this morning, which contains medicine, durable food, canned goods, diapers, and medical supplies."
