China urges Israel to stop its military operation in the south Gazan city of Rafah “as soon as possible,” warning of a “serious humanitarian disaster” there if fighting doesn’t stop.
“China… opposes and condemns actions that harm civilians and violate international law,” a foreign ministry spokesperson says in a statement, adding it urges Israel to “stop its military operation as soon as possible, make every effort to avoid innocent civilian casualties… to prevent a more serious humanitarian disaster in the Rafah area.”
