In a passionate appeal at the UN Security Council, China called on Israel to prioritize humanitarian aid for Gaza amid a devastating nine-month blockade. 🇺🇳 \"Millions are trapped in hunger and despair,\" declared China's UN representative Fu Cong, describing Gaza as an \"open-air prison\" with dire shortages of water, food, and medicine.
🔴 The Crisis Unpacked: Over 2 million residents face \"unprecedented\" challenges, with blocked land routes like the Rafah crossing causing \"thousands of aid trucks\" to stall. Fu criticized Israel's military operations for disrupting UN Resolution 2720’s implementation, which aimed to expand aid access.
💬 Key Quote:\"Hunger cannot be weaponized. Humanitarian issues cannot be politicized,\" Fu stressed, condemning attacks on aid workers and the deaths of 200+ humanitarian staff.
🚨 What’s Next? China urged Israel to cooperate with UN agencies for \"rapid, safe, and large-scale\" aid delivery while pushing for a lasting ceasefire and renewed two-state solution talks. \"The world cannot look away,\" Fu concluded.
