Turkish first lady appeals to Melania Trump over Gaza children
Turkey's first lady, Emine Erdogan, has appealed to Melania Trump to raise awareness for the children suffering in Gaza due to the conflict with Israel. In a letter published by the Turkish presidency, Erdogan urged Trump to extend her advocacy to help Palestinians in Gaza, likening the situation to a "children's cemetery." Erdogan emphasized the urgent need to unite voices against the injustice in Gaza, as half a million people face famine and over 132,000 children are at risk of malnutrition, highlighting the critical humanitarian crisis in the region.
