During the "Family Event" at the Turkish Embassy in Cairo.. Ambassador Şen: Turkey's continuous support for preserving the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people

The Turkish state continues its ongoing support for the Palestinian cause and its brethren in the Gaza Strip at all levels and fronts. Among the most prominent of these efforts are those provided by the Turkish Embassy in Cairo through events to support Palestinian brethren in the Gaza Strip residing in Egypt. In this context, the Embassy organized its second solidarity and relief event in 2026, at the residence of the Turkish Ambassador in Cairo, Salih Mutlu Şen. The Embassy, in cooperation with the Turkish "Verenel" association, provided food and cash assistance to 100 Palestinian families, and involved 100 Palestinian children.

15 members of the "Verenel" association attended, having come specifically from Turkey to support the celebration, along with a number of senior journalists, media professionals, and social media influencers from Egypt and Palestine.

In his speech, Ambassador Şen said that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan gives utmost priority to supporting the Palestinian cause, stressing that Turkey's support is continuous to ensure the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people, and to provide all forms of assistance, especially to the brethren from the Gaza Strip, in order to alleviate their suffering and that of their families.

Şen affirmed Turkey's desire to show its support for the Palestinian people not only through words, but also through tangible events and programs, pointing out that these humanitarian activities will continue and expand with the continued provision of all types of support to the people of Gaza during the upcoming blessed month of Ramadan.

Şen expressed the necessity of working tirelessly until the residents of Gaza enjoy safety, expressing his appreciation for the facilities provided by the Egyptian authorities in both Cairo and Arish to Turkish official institutions and civil society organizations in delivering aid, praising what Egypt provides and the embrace of the Egyptian state and institutions for Palestinians, and its role in delivering humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

Ambassador Şen referred to the previous organization of a solidarity event for 200 Palestinian families during the first days of the new year.

Ambassador Şen thanked the Turkish relief organizations, affirming that Turkish official institutions and civil society organizations do not hesitate to provide their humanitarian assistance to ensure the dignity of the Palestinian people, their continued hopes of returning to Gaza, and their support in Egypt.

The event included setting up play areas for children to enjoy, in addition to various activities such as drawing, and Ambassador Şen showed special interest in Palestinian families and children throughout the event, interacting closely with them.
