The world is facing a surge in deadly conflicts since World War II. About two billion people — a quarter of humanity — live in conflict-torn places. In Ukraine, millions of people had become refugees. And in Sudan, heavy fighting have led to rising civilian casualties. China has spared no effort in quickly providing humanitarian aid. In recent years, China has sent help to Afghanistan, earthquake-hit Türkiye and Syria, and flood-prone Pakistan. That's on top of donating medical equipment to over 150 countries at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the country has been sending medical teams to developing countries around the world for decades. China's contribution is widely respected, said Pierre Krähenbühl, a personal envoy of the International Committee of the Red Cross President for China. The ICRC is devoted to helping people affected by conflict and armed violence and promoting the laws that protect victims of war. Here's that conversation about much-needed aid.
