Humanitarian Crisis Deepens as Chinese Envoy Calls for Immediate Action
In a fiery speech at the UN Security Council, China's top diplomat Fu Cong delivered a stark message: 'Stop using hunger as a weapon.' 🚫 The plea comes as Gaza's humanitarian situation reaches breaking point after 13 months of conflict.
The Politics of Food?
Fu, China's permanent UN representative, slammed Israel for allegedly turning humanitarian aid into a 'bargaining chip' while civilians face starvation. 🔄 'The problem isn't lack of supplies – it's man-made restrictions,' he stated, revealing that even polio vaccines recently made it into Gaza through WHO efforts.
UN vs. Israel?
The envoy criticized Israel for 'blaming humanitarian agencies while blocking access' – comparing it to someone locking the fridge then complaining you're not cooking. 🧊🗝️ Fu demanded all Gaza border crossings open immediately and called for renewed focus on a two-state solution.
Ceasefire Now!
With ceasefire talks stalled, Fu warned that lasting peace requires stopping military operations in Gaza and halting regional escalation. ⚔️💔 The speech marks China's strongest stance yet in the conflict, positioning it as a vocal advocate for Palestinian aid access.
