President Erdoğan’s message on “World Humanitarian Day”

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan shared a message on his social media account on the occasion of the "World Humanitarian Day". 

In his post, President Erdoğan said:  

"Today, the harsh reality we face on World Humanitarian Day is that over 300 million people lack access to their most basic humanitarian needs. This is a truth that unsettles the conscience of humanity, urging the entire world to act with responsibility. 

Humanitarian aid transcends political considerations, it is fundamentally a matter of conscience. 

With our humanitarian diplomacy approach, we rank among the most generous nations in the world in terms of humanitarian aid relative to our gross national product. 
As Türkiye, guided by the vast tradition of providing humanitarian aid rooted in our history, the helping hand we extend in every region—regardless of the identity or faith of the oppressed—is the strongest expression of our commitment to upholding human dignity and giving voice to the conscience of humanity. 

Türkiye has thus far provided over 101,000 tonnes of humanitarian assistance to Gaza and has conducted a humanitarian mobilisation valued at more than 40 million dollars in support of UNRWA. 

While the global crisis, geopolitical tensions, and conflicts the world faces present challenges to our humanitarian aid initiatives, we remain steadfast in our commitment to these efforts in every region where they are required. 

We will establish a fairer world focused on humanity and its values."
