GAZA, July 21 (Xinhua) — The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since the conflict began on October 7, 2023 has exceeded 59,000, the health authority based in the Palestinian enclave said on Monday.

The ministry's press release stated that a total of 59,029 Palestinians have been killed and another 142,135 injured in Israel's ongoing military operations.

Since March 18, 8,196 deaths and 30,094 wounded have been recorded, reflecting an escalation in fighting in previous weeks, the report said.

According to the latest figures, 134 bodies have been delivered to hospitals in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours. In addition, 1,155 people have been injured to varying degrees of severity as a result of ongoing airstrikes and shelling over the past 24 hours. The ministry warned that the figures could rise as many victims are still under rubble.

The UN and a number of regional organizations have repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire and the establishment of internationally monitored humanitarian corridors, but efforts to find a sustainable humanitarian solution have so far failed to produce results. –0–

SHANGHAI, July 21 (Xinhua) — Some 3.12 million foreign tourists visited the east Chinese city of Shanghai in the first half of 2025, up 53.3 percent year on year, the city's Bureau of Culture and Tourism said Monday.

Rapid growth was driven by key Asian tourism markets, led by the Republic of Korea with 424,000 trips (up 130.7 percent), Thailand with 254,000 trips (up 140 percent), and Japan with 291,000 trips (up 58.5 percent).

The flow of tourists from distant countries such as the USA, Russia and Australia also showed significant growth.

Among the key factors that make Shanghai attractive to foreign tourists are the simplified visa regime and improved service quality, clean streets, efficient transportation and creative souvenirs. In addition, tourists are attracted by the new Legoland amusement park, the city's cosmopolitan atmosphere, diverse attractions and modern infrastructure.

To strengthen its position as the “first stop” for inbound tourism in China, Shanghai has launched a tourism promotion initiative aimed at enhancing interactive engagement with travelers from around the world. The initiative is themed “This is Shanghai” and includes promotional films featuring “city ambassadors,” a “cultural passport” guidebook, and specially designed tourist routes.

Efforts are underway to integrate the “first-time experience” with immersive storytelling, which will help position Shanghai as a world-class tourism destination with global appeal, city officials said. –0–

URUMQI, July 21 (Xinhua) — Tianshan International Airport in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has expanded its international cargo air transportation network to 34 routes, linking 19 countries in Central and West Asia, Europe and Africa, airport operator Xinjiang Airport Group said Monday.

Following the commissioning of the new terminal on April 17, as of June the airport handled 46,000 tons of international cargo and mail, showing a 659 percent increase year-on-year and exceeding the figure for the whole of 2024.

Xinjiang Airport Group Chairman Tao Runwen emphasized the role of Tianshan Airport as one of the key air gateways of the Silk Road Economic Belt, noting that the rapid expansion of the international cargo route network is facilitated by the simultaneous development of both passenger and cargo transportation.

Key air routes served by the airport include a 10-hour flight to Zurich in Switzerland and a 7.5-hour direct flight to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia on the African continent. These routes have significantly increased logistics efficiency.

According to Xinjiang Airport Group, Tianshan Airport's innovative measures, such as the implementation of a 24-hour pre-application customs clearance mechanism with priority inspection, have ensured "zero delay" for cargo containing perishable goods and high-precision equipment, and improved customs efficiency by more than 40 percent.

Further expansion of the air cargo network is currently planned, including the opening of new routes to Madrid and Paris in late 2025. By the end of this year, the airport is expected to serve a total of 40 international cargo routes. –0–

BEIJING, July 21 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang signed a State Council regulation on issuing regulations for the high-quality development of the rental housing market to build a housing construction system that is favorable for both rental and purchase.

The new regulations, which will come into effect on September 15, emphasize the integration of the leading role of the market and the guiding role of the government in the development of the sector. They also encourage an increase in the supply of rental housing through multiple channels and promote the development of market-oriented professional rental housing enterprises.

The document sets out rules governing the rental business and the conduct of rental businesses and brokerage agencies. Rental brokerage agencies must verify and record information provided by authorized representatives, conduct on-site inspections of properties before listing them, and clearly state the prices for their services, the document states.

The document stresses the need to strengthen supervision and management of the rental housing sector. Local people's governments at or above the city level with district divisions should establish a mechanism to monitor housing rents and regularly publish information on rental prices.

The document provides for strict legal liability for illegal actions of landlords, tenants, rental housing companies, brokerage agencies and employees of relevant government agencies. -0-
