Ankara: Trkiye's Family and Social Services Minister Mahinur Ozdemir Goktas on Saturday reiterated Ankara's support and solidarity with Palestine and children in Gaza. Goktas and Palestinian Minister of Social Development Samah Hamad met with children brought from Gaza to Trkiye following Israeli attacks.

According to Anadolu Agency, the ministers spent time with the children at the Bilkent Traditional Sports Youth and Sports Club in the capital Ankara, where they joined archery activities and watched the children ride horses. Speaking to reporters following the event, Goktas said: "As we did yesterday, we will continue to stand by our Palestinian brothers and the children of Gaza today, tomorrow, and always."

Goktas expressed her grief over Gaza's women and children, who are the majority of victims of Israeli attacks. She stated that Israel continues to bomb both schools and hospitals, actions which she described as genocide carried out in front of the world's eyes without observing any moral values.

She highlighted that under the leadership of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Trkiye remains a vocal supporter of the Palestinian people. Together with her counterpart Samah Hamad, she visited the Gazan children to witness the ongoing efforts in education, health care, and psychosocial support. Emphasizing Trkiye's commitment, she reaffirmed continued solidarity with Palestinian brothers and Gazan children amid ongoing challenges.
