#Trending: Arabs mourn victims of Istanbul airport attack
Arab social media users have left messages of support to the people of Turkey who are mourning the deaths of dozens of people in a horrific terrorist attack at Istanbul's international airport on Tuesday.
Arab-speakers across the world have rallied behind Turkey in the wake of Tuesday's triple suicide bombing and gun attack, which left 44 dead and more than 200 injured.
Turkey has suffered a string of deadly attacks in the past year blamed either on the radical Islamic State group [IS] or Kurdish rebels. The airport attack comes at the start of the crucial summer tourist season for Turkey.
The Arabic-language hashtag #TurkeyIsNotAlone has recently gained traction on Twitter shortly after the attack took place.
