Emine Erdogan asked Melania Trump to urge Israel's prime minister to address the plight of children in Gaza. Emine cited Melania's recent appeal concerning children in Ukraine and Russia as inspiration for raising Gaza's humanitarian emergency. Emine praised the universal right of every child to grow up in a loving, safe environment and framed support for oppressed children as a fundamental human responsibility. Emine expressed concern for lives lost, families torn apart, and children orphaned by war. The communication cited casualty figures for Ukrainian and Gaza children to emphasize the scale of civilian suffering.
As you stated in your letter, every child has the universal and undeniable right to grow up in a loving and safe environment. This right is not exclusive to any region, ethnicity, religion, or ideology. Supporting the oppressed who are denied this right is a fundamental responsibility towards the human family. In this context, especially as the spouse of a leader, your compassion for the lives lost, families torn apart, and children left orphaned under the devastating effects of the war in Ukraine
Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation's rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger. I believe that you will demonstrate this important sensitivity, which you have shown for the 648 Ukrainian children who lost their lives in the war, even more strongly for Gaza, where 62,000 innocent civilians, including 18,000 children, were brutally murdered within two years,
