China considers preventing a massive humanitarian crisis one of the top priorities. To this end, China wishes to propose a six-point initiative:   

First, make sure that humanitarian operations abide by the principles of neutrality and impartiality, and avoid politicizing humanitarian issues;   

Second, give full attention to the displaced persons in and from Ukraine, and provide them with proper shelter;   

Third, ensure the protection of civilians, and prevent secondary humanitarian disasters in Ukraine;   

Fourth, provide for safe and smooth humanitarian aid activities, including providing rapid, safe and unimpeded humanitarian access;  

Fifth, provide for the safety of foreign nationals in Ukraine, allow them safe departure and help them return to their home countries; and  

Sixth, support the UN’s coordinating role in channeling humanitarian aid and the work of the UN Crisis Coordinator for Ukraine.  

China will continue its efforts to stem the humanitarian crisis. The Red Cross Society of China will provide Ukraine with a tranche of emergency humanitarian supplies as soon as possible.     

Red Cross Society of China donated 5 million yuan ($0.8 millon) of emergency humanitarian resources including blankets, formula, and quilts etc. to Red Cross Society of Ukraine. On March 21, Wang Wenbin, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, announced that China will provide an additional 10 million yuan ($1.6 million) of humanitarian assistance to Ukraine (Courtesy of Red Cross Society of China)
