The Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke out about the ongoing conflict in Gaza, describing the resulting humanitarian catastrophe as a “shame to civilization.” The statement comes amid continued hostilities that have seen significant destruction and loss of life in the region. Wang Yi’s comments underscore the deepening concerns over the plight of civilians caught in the crossfire between Israeli forces and Hamas. “The fact that today, in the 21st century, this humanitarian catastrophe cannot be stopped is a human tragedy, even more so, it is a shame for civilization,” Wang expressed, emphasizing the urgent need for international intervention to alleviate the suffering of the affected populations. Since the outbreak of hostilities in October, Gaza has been subjected to intense military operations. Israel has justified its actions as a necessary response to the threat posed by Hamas, which governs the Palestinian enclave and is considered a terrorist organization by several countries. However, the cost of the conflict has been steep, with numerous reports detailing the heavy civilian toll, including loss of life, injury, and widespread destruction of infrastructure.
