According to CCTV News, on August 13, local time, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on the situation in Gaza at the request of Algeria. The Chinese representative once again called for an immediate ceasefire to avoid an escalation of the situation.

DiCarlo, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacekeeping Affairs, and Lisa Dowden, Director of the Humanitarian Financing Division of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, briefed on the situation in Gaza.

DiCarlo said the devastating Israeli attack on a school in Gaza City on the 10th prompted the Security Council to convene this meeting, which once again demonstrated the urgent need to reach a ceasefire agreement, release hostages and expand humanitarian aid to Gaza. She said that ten months into this round of conflict, the threat of further escalation in the region is more obvious than ever.

Lisa Dowden said that attacks on schools in the Gaza Strip are becoming more and more frequent. This is at least the 21st attack on schools that serve as shelters since July 4 this year. The United Nations is doing its best to help alleviate the humanitarian disaster, and she called on all parties to take immediate action to end the suffering of the people of Gaza.

Palestinian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Mansour said that Israel has not implemented any resolutions and demands of the Security Council and has ignored international law. He called on Security Council members to take action to save Palestinian lives and stop Israel's actions.

Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations, Erdan, said that Israel attacked Hamas's command center on the 10th and that the United Nations convened this meeting in "response to Hamas' false propaganda."

China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, said that civilians and civilian facilities cannot be the target of military operations, which is a red line stipulated by international humanitarian law. Schools where a large number of civilians gather have been attacked again and again, which is outrageous. China reiterated that the key to avoiding the deterioration and escalation of the situation lies in achieving a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire in Gaza as soon as possible. China is willing to work with the international community to make unremitting efforts to quell the war in Gaza as soon as possible, alleviate the humanitarian disaster, implement the "two-state solution", and achieve long-term peace and stability in the Middle East.

On the 10th local time, a school that houses displaced people in Gaza City, Gaza Strip, was attacked by Israeli military airstrikes, killing more than 100 people and injuring dozens.
