In Turkey, Abbas discusses delivery of aid to Gaza with Erdogan. Turkey is looking for a way to send aid to the Palestinian enclave without going through Israel.
A unilateral aid mechanism for the Palestinians would require the green light from Egypt, which controls the Rafah border crossing, the only land crossing for humanitarian aid entering Gaza. “For 150 days, we have witnessed one of the greatest barbarities of the century ,” says Turkish President Erdogan of Israel's actions in Gaza.
