(MENAFN) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the situation in Gaza on Tuesday as “worse than Nazi camps,” highlighting the severe famine and deprivation faced by its people amid months of relentless Israeli attacks.

Speaking at a news conference in Ankara alongside Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Erdogan accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, where brutal massacres have continued for 22 months within a 360-square-kilometer area.

He condemned Israel’s use of hunger as a weapon, calling it a stark demonstration of a lack of humanity.

Erdogan described Gaza’s humanitarian crisis as catastrophic and urged all nations, especially Islamic countries and people of conscience worldwide, to raise their voices against the attacks. He emphasized that innocent children are dying both from starvation and from gunfire by occupation forces.

He pledged Turkey’s continued efforts to address the crisis and expressed hope that those responsible for the genocide in Gaza will eventually be held accountable by both law and history.
