BEIJING, March 19 :A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Tuesday said that relevant members of the international community need to take substantive measures and make a great effort to achieve an immediate cease-fire to avoid more casualties in Gaza.
\nIt has been over five months since the Gaza conflict broke out. The humanitarian situation on the ground has become extremely dire. The struggling \u201cDar Al-Shifa Hospital\u201d is an epitome of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza,
\nLin Jian said during his regular briefing.
\nHe said that currently, the top priority is to achieve an immediate cease-fire, do everything possible to protect civilians, avoid more casualties and ease the humanitarian crisis.
\nRelevant members of the international community need to take substantive measures and make a great effort to this end, he added. As per media reports, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, now in its 164th day, has killed over 31.7 thousand people and wounded 73.7 thousand others in Palestine.
\nYesterday, Israel launched a military operation at Dar Al-Shifa hospital, the largest medical facility in Gaza, with Palestinian journalists arrested by Israeli forces during their raid.
\nResponding to a question about appointment of Mohammad Mustafa as the new Prime Minister of Palestine, the spokesperson said, China congratulates Mohammad Mustafa on taking office as the new Prime Minister of Palestine.
\nLin Jian said, any arrangement concerning the future and destiny of Palestine must follow the principle of the Palestinians governing Palestine and fully reflect the Palestinians aspiration.
\nWe support the Palestinian authority in enhancing its authority and effectively controlling all of Palestine\u2019s territory, and support all political factions in Palestine in achieving internal reconciliation through consultation and dialogue, he added.
\nHe said, China stands ready to work with all parties to de-escalate the current tensions and bring the Palestinian question back to the right track of the two-State solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
