Venetia Rainey: 以色列士兵将加沙人道主义基金的援助点描述为“杀戮场”,他们奉命射杀手无寸铁的加沙人。哈马斯管理的卫生部报告称,自五月底以来,已有超过500人在这些援助点附近丧生。尽管以色列总理内塔尼亚胡否认这些指控,但这些证词揭示了加沙地带援助分配点附近令人震惊的暴力事件。 James Elder: 作为联合国儿童基金会的首席发言人,我亲眼目睹了加沙的恐怖景象。医院里挤满了伤员,孩子们遭受着可怕的战争创伤,止痛药的缺乏使得他们的尖叫声令人心碎。援助分配点变成了战区,人们为了获得食物而冒着生命危险。国际社会未能充分采取行动,许多受伤的儿童无法获得必要的医疗后送,这让我感到愤怒和绝望。我呼吁国际社会采取紧急行动,结束这场对加沙儿童的战争,并提供必要的援助。 Soldier: 作为一名在加沙人道主义基金援助点附近服役的以色列士兵,我亲眼目睹了那里的恐怖景象。我们奉命向试图排队领取援助的人开火,即使他们没有构成任何威胁。我们早上很早就开火,有时只是从近距离冲向他们。那里没有敌人,没有武器,我们的沟通方式是枪声。这简直就是一个杀戮场,我驻扎的地方每天都有一到五人被杀。这种经历让我感到震惊和不安,我无法理解为什么我们要对那些只是想获得食物的人开火。

For several weeks, two Chinese aircraft carrier battle groups have been conducting unprecedented drills in the Western Pacific, sailing further from Beijing than ever before.

What message is China trying to send to the world and what can we learn about its Navy’s capabilities? Venetia chats to RUSI's Philip Shetler‑Jones, who specialises in Indo-Pacific security.
