China on Tuesday called on Israel to halt its military operations in the southern Gaza city of Rafah "as soon as possible," warning of a "serious humanitarian disaster" there if fighting did not stop. In a statement, the Chinese foreign ministry condemned actions that harmed civilians and violated international law. Israel is facing growing international pressure to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas as it prepares for an incursion into Rafah, where more than a million displaced Palestinians are trapped.
