Altun took to social media to express his condemnation, emphasizing that these grave human rights violations must come to an end. He further called for Israel to be held accountable for its actions, which he unequivocally labeled as war crimes.

The recent attack targeted workers from the US-based international humanitarian aid organization World Central Kitchen (WCK) who were actively providing aid in Gaza. Altun criticized Israel’s ongoing actions, accusing the nation of perpetuating genocidal acts and violating international humanitarian law with impunity.

In a heartfelt statement, the Turkish Presidency’s Director of Communications extended condolences to the families of the fallen aid workers. The attack was described as brutal, and Altun underscored the urgent need for humanitarian aid access to Gaza. The region faces a looming famine, exacerbated by the use of food as a weapon of war.

Altun also praised the resilience of humanitarian workers in Gaza, highlighting their unwavering efforts as a testament to human conscience in the face of Israeli atrocities. He concluded by asserting that their work will be remembered, while urgently calling for an end to the violence and accountability for those responsible.

This tragic incident has drawn international attention, and the world watches closely as tensions continue to escalate in the region. (ILKHA)
