As Israel's offensive in Gaza enters its fourth week, claiming more than 1,300 lives, Turkey has reiterated calls for the military campaign to end.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Israel had intensified its attacks despite calls and warnings from the international community.
The statement added: "Israel knows no boundaries by targeting the only power plant in Gaza, UN [United Nations] schools, hospitals and mosques."
Gaza's only power plant was forced to shut down on Tuesday after the facility's fuel depot was hit.
"We curse these attacks, which killed scores of innocent Palestinians including women and children," the Turkish statement said.
Since July 7, at least 1,282 Palestinians have been killed, mostly civilians, and 7,170 injured while 56 Israeli soldiers and three civilians have been killed.
