Gaza conflict anniversary solidarity in Turkey and Tunisia

Overview

The third anniversary of the October 7, 2023, events has prompted renewed expressions of solidarity and humanitarian concern across Turkey and Tunisia.

In Turkey, widespread protests and commemorative events have been held in cities including Antalya, Ankara, Trabzon, and Manisa. These demonstrations have taken diverse forms, such as silent marches, art exhibitions, and academic panels designed to draw attention to the civilian toll in Gaza. Civil society organizations, political figures, and students have called for international legal accountability for Israeli leadership, urging the global community to prevent the normalization of violence.

During these commemorations, speakers cited reports indicating that over the last three years, approximately 74,000 people—primarily women and children—have died in Gaza, with more than 175,000 injured. It was also noted that over 1,500 Gazans were killed following ceasefire announcements.

In Konya, Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay participated in the ‘University Meetings’ series at Selçuk University and Necmettin Erbakan University. Addressing medical students at Selçuk University, Altay emphasized the importance of pairing professional success with conscience and advocated for the continued boycott of Israeli products. At Necmettin Erbakan University, his discussions also covered local urban development and transportation investments.

In Tunisia, university students organized solidarity events, such as flag-raising ceremonies and speeches, to protest the humanitarian situation and the blockade of Gaza. Activists and academics in both regions have emphasized the need for global awareness and criticized the perceived inadequacy of the international community in addressing the conflict.
