Doctors and medical faculty students gathered in Türkiye’s Tekirdağ province to protest Israel’s deadly attacks on the Gaza Strip. While students carried photographs of innocent Gazans, some doctors wore blood-painted lab coats.

“Bombs have been falling on Gaza every minute of every day for 7 months. Gazans are struggling with death, hunger and disease. Hospitals and health centers in Gaza have turned into mass graves. Hospitals are targeted in violation of human rights and international law. Healthcare workers in hospitals are fighting an epic struggle to provide treatment under conditions without medication or electricity. Healthcare workers and patients are not targets. These attacks are clearly a war crime,” said Sümeyye Özdemir, a medical faculty student.

On Jun 4, 2025

As Eid al-Adha approaches, the historic district of Hasankeyf in Türkiye’s Batman province is preparing to welcome both local and foreign tourists. Located along the Tigris River, Hasankeyf is known for its deep-rooted history and striking cultural landmarks.

Local tradesmen have begun holiday preparations. Muhyettin Talayhan, a souvenir seller for 12 years, said, “We are producing magnets to leave beautiful memories for our guests.” Another shopkeeper, Memet Salih İnalöz, added, “Even though this Eid may be quieter due to the heat and short holiday, we are still ready to welcome visitors.”

Beyza Tekçe, a tourist from Izmir, said her visit exceeded expectations: “Some parts are under water, but what remains is truly fascinating.”

Hasankeyf will greet visitors with highlights such as the Zeynel Bey Tomb, ancient stone bridge remains, and a traditional bazaar.
