China has accused the United States of obstructing ceasefire efforts in the Gaza conflict, asserting that the US has consistently shielded Israel from international resolutions aimed at halting military operations. During a UN Security Council briefing, Chinese Ambassador Geng Shuang highlighted that over 41,000 Palestinian civilians, predominantly women and children, have died since the conflict began nearly a year ago. Geng criticized the Security Council's inability to address what he termed a 'human tragedy,' attributing this failure to US vetoes of multiple ceasefire resolutions. He urged the US to use its influence to pressure Israel to cease military actions immediately. The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has led to critical shortages of food, water, and medical supplies, prompting calls for urgent international action. China's statements reflect increasing frustration with global institutions' responses to the escalating violence and humanitarian disaster in the region.
