SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 13, 2023 | SaltWireANKARA - A Turkish military plane with humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza has arrived in Egypt, the Turkish Red Crescent said on Friday, as President Tayyip Erdogan called rights violations against civilians in the enclave"unacceptable".
It did not say what supplies were included in the aid, but state broadcaster TRT Haber reported that the shipment included food and medical supplies, adding it would be carried into Gaza via Egypt's Rafah crossing. Turkey has offered to mediate in the unprecedented clashes between Israel and Islamist militant group Hamas, which urged Gaza residents not to heed an Israeli warning to relocate south on Friday ahead of an expected ground invasion that risks high casualties.
Repeating a comment he had made previously, Erdogan told French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in a call on Friday that the human rights violations in against civilians in Gaza were unacceptable, and that Ankara was working to get aid to Gaza.
