The Middle East situation is quite severe, according to Beijing, according to Reuters’ citation of Chinese official media. – The possibility of the armed conflict extending to other places is considerable, and the regional and global impacts are intensifying, “which makes the prospects concerning,” according to Zhai Jun, the Chinese ambassador to the Middle East. Keeping “high vigilance in this regard” and taking swift action that would need “strict adherence to international humanitarian law,” he pleaded with the international community. In addition, Zhai said that China is prepared to use “everything in their power” to promote communication and a ceasefire.
Israel reportedly struck neighborhoods close to three hospitals in the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian media. Israeli fighter planes are said to have carried out the assaults. If the medical facilities themselves were harmed by the bombing, it was not reported. Israeli forces reportedly attacked “near the Shifa and Al-Quds hospitals in Gaza City and near an Indonesian hospital in the north of the enclave,” according to Reuters, and the head of the latter facility said that the strikes resulted in “serious damage and injuries.” The reports couldn’t be verified by Reuters.
