Asked about Indonesian President's instruction to evacuate and treat around 2,000 wounded Gaza residents on one of Indonesia's islands and whether China would consider cooperating in a joint humanitarian effort, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said, "We are not aware of the specifics you mentioned. The fighting in Gaza has caused a grave humanitarian disaster. The pressing priority is to realize a lasting ceasefire in Gaza at once and ensuring the access of humanitarian aid." 

China stands ready to make active effort together with the international community to send a stronger message and play a bigger role on the Palestinian question, and promote the full, just and lasting settlement of the Palestinian question at an early date, Guo said.
