As civilian casualties mount in Gaza, China’s top UN representative made an impassioned plea for peace during a Security Council briefing Wednesday. Dai Bing, charge d'affaires of China’s Permanent Mission to the UN, revealed startling figures: over 10,000 women killed and 1 million Palestinian women and girls facing famine after 300+ days of conflict. 💔
‘Humanitarian Catastrophe Must Stop’
Dai urged global leaders to heed the “overwhelming consensus” for an immediate ceasefire and full implementation of UN resolutions. “We’re watching entire generations vanish,” his warning echoed, calling for urgent action to prevent further conflict spillover.
Peace Missions in Transition
With some UN operations scaling down, Dai emphasized smoother transitions: “Political solutions must remain core to peacekeeping.” China proposed aligning drawdowns with national strategies of host countries to maintain stability – a move resonating with developing nations.
Women’s Role in Building Peace
Highlighting UN Resolution 1325, Dai stressed empowering women in conflict resolution: “From boardrooms to refugee camps, their voices matter.” 🔍 The envoy linked women’s rights protection to achieving the 2030 Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goals.
As Gaza’s crisis deepens, China’s call spotlights growing global pressure for action. Will this be the turning point? 🤝
