Erdogan says Gazans must not die for ‘hunk of bread’

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned on Tuesday that it would be unacceptable for Palestinians to die from the want of a “hunk of bread or a mouthful of water”. Mr Erdogan’s warning, made during a speech in Istanbul, comes amid a mounting chorus of international criticism of Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza, which has triggered a humanitarian crisis.
