ANKARA: A bride from Turkey’s Batman province donated the gold she received at her wedding reception to help the Palestinian people, international media reported on Wednesday.
The gold was worth about $40,000, which is about 11.2 million rupees.
Requesting anonymity, the bride said she wanted her wedding to be the beginning of a great cause, aimed at alleviating the suffering of the oppressed people of Gaza.
She hoped her gesture would inspire others to show compassion and solidarity – especially at a time when the Palestinian people are facing immense hardship due to Israeli aggression.
Earlier yesterday, Israeli forces in Gaza martyred another 60 Palestinians in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, a hearing is underway at the International Court of Justice against Israel over the cutoff of aid to Gaza. The South African representative said that by cutting off aid, Israel is committing genocide in front of the whole world.
In addition, Amnesty International has described the forced displacement of Palestinians in its annual report as genocide.
During a meeting of the UN Security Council, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stressed that a two-state solution is necessary and that Gaza should be an integral part of a future Palestinian state.
