China on Monday “strongly condemned” perpetrators of mass graves found in hospitals in the besieged Gaza Strip.
“We are deeply shocked and strongly condemn the perpetrators of the atrocity,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian, responding to questions about the discovery of mass graves.
The Gaza Civil Defense Agency has uncovered 392 bodies in three mass graves at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The Chinese official added, “Vast swaths of Gaza are now left in rubble and over a million civilians are struggling in despair on the brink of death. The fact that this is even happening in the 21st century is an outrage to the moral conscience of humanity, and tramples on the most fundamental aspect of international justice.”
“It must no longer talk about the need of a ceasefire while pouring weapons into the conflict, and talk about aid while creating obstacles for humanitarian access,” she said.
