Turkey's first lady has urged Melania Trump to speak out for children suffering in Israel's war in Gaza.
Emine Erdogan praised the US first lady's support for children affected by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, asking Trump to "extend the advocacy" to Palestinians.
In a letter published by the Turkish presidency on Saturday, Mrs Erdogan said Gaza had become a '"children's cemetery", telling Mrs Trump: "We must unite our voices and strength against this injustice."
It comes as UN- backed food security experts have assessed half a million people are suffering from famine in Gaza City - and 132,000 children's lives are threatened by malnutrition.
"The phrase 'unknown baby' written on the shrouds of thousands of Gazan children opens irreparable wounds in our consciences," Mrs Erdogan wrote.
