# Turkey’s first lady, Emine Erdoğan, has written to Melania Trump, urging her to show the same concern for children in Gaza as she has for Ukrainian children affected by war. Trump previously sent Russian President Vladimir Putin her own letter concerning the nearly 20-thousand Ukrainian children that Kyiv’s government says have been abducted during three years of war. Erdoğan urged Trump to address the ongoing suffering in Gaza, where an estimated 18-thousand children have been killed over the past two years. She suggested that Melania send a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling for an end to the crisis.
