Turkiye said that it deplored a recent Israeli attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, which left over 200 Palestinians dead and hundreds injured, Anadolu Agency reports.

“We deplore the Israeli attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza, which has killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians,” the country’s Foreign Ministry said in an official statement.

Calling the attack “babaric,” the ministry said it was another addition to the “list of war crimes it has committed in Gaza.”

“We call on the institutions responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security, the United Nations Security Council in particular, to exercise their responsibility to put an end to the commission of these crimes by Israel,” the statement added.
