Turkish, Indonesian foreign ministers discuss recent developments in Gaza

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and his Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi discussed the recent developments in Gaza, according to Turkish diplomatic sources on Wednesday.

In a phone call upon Marsudi's request, both ministers also discussed potential joint steps that could be taken on international platforms, the sources added.

At least 10,328 Palestinians, including 4,237 children and 2,719 women, have been killed in Israeli air and ground attacks in the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7. The Israeli death toll, meanwhile, is nearly 1,600, according to official figures.

Besides the large number of casualties and massive displacements, basic supplies are running low for Gaza's 2.3 million residents due to the Israeli siege.
