  Türkiye declares 3 days of mourning for Gaza victims

Türkiye has declared a three-day national mourning period for hundreds of civilians killed in Israeli airstrikes at a hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip, AzVision.az reports citing Daily Sabah. 

The Turkish nation will be mourning for 471 Palestinians killed in Israel’s attack on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza as per a presidential decree. 

"This expresses that Türkiye stands with the innocent in Palestine," the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) Spokesperson Ömer Çelik told reporters in Ankara. "This loss, whose pain we share, is also our loss."
