Storyline:
A Chinese envoy on Wednesday called for efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and demand accountability for violations against children.

Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, made the appeal at a Security Council's open debate on children and armed conflict held at the UN headquarters in New York.

Fu welcomed the listing of offenders that harm children in the Secretary-General's annual report of the perpetrators of grave violations against children in the Gaza conflict and called it a timely response to international demands.
