President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Türkiye once again accused Israel of obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Speaking at a meeting with the AK Party’s provincial heads, Erdoğan said, "According to the agreements in place, 600 trucks with humanitarian aid should arrive in Gaza every day. However, Israel does not fulfil its obligations even in this matter, constantly creating obstacles and difficulties for the delivery of humanitarian aid under far-fetched pretexts."
Pointing out that they are trying to support the innocent residents of Gaza despite Israel's actions, Erdoğan stated, "With the onset of cold weather and rains, the burden on Gaza's residents has increased. Last week, our 19th vessel with 1,300 tons of humanitarian cargo arrived at the Port of Al-Arish in Egypt. Over the past two years, the volume of aid we have sent to Gaza approaches 105,000 tons."
