China on Tuesday called for steps to prevent a "humanitarian disaster" in Gaza, after Israel unleashed its most intense strikes on the territory since a ceasefire.
"China is highly concerned about the current situation between Israel and Palestine," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said, calling for the parties to "avoid any actions that could lead to an escalation of the situation, and prevent a larger-scale humanitarian disaster."
