Beijing, October 10 (Xinhua) — China's retaliatory measures against the US levying additional port charges on Chinese vessels are a "legitimate defense" aimed at maintaining fair competition in international shipping and shipbuilding markets, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Friday.

“This move by the United States is a typical act of unilateralism of a clearly discriminatory nature, which seriously harms the interests of Chinese companies,” the department’s representative noted in an online statement.

According to him, in order to protect the interests of domestic industry, Chinese authorities will, in accordance with the provisions of the PRC on international maritime transport, levy a special port fee on vessels associated with the United States, including ships flying the US flag, built in this country, and owned or operated by American companies and organizations with their shareholding.

The official representative clarified that these countermeasures will take effect simultaneously with the US imposition of additional port charges on Chinese vessels on October 14. He added that China calls on the US side to correct its missteps and move in the same direction with China to find a solution through equal consultation and cooperation.

UN humanitarian agencies mobilized to deliver aid to Gaza

October 10, 2025 Humanitarian aid

On Friday, after the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas took effect, thousands of Gaza residents flocked to the northern part of the enclave. The main road leading in this direction was jammed with people. All UN humanitarian agencies have been mobilized to provide assistance to the Strip. They have prepared 170,000 tons of food, medicine, and other goods for delivery to Gaza.

"Details regarding the agreement and its implementation are still scarce. However, we call for the immediate opening of all crossings into Gaza so that humanitarian aid can flow unimpeded into the war-torn enclave," said Juliet Tuma, Director of Communications for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

Her comments came amid reports that Israeli troops have begun withdrawing from parts of Gaza in accordance with agreements reached this week in Egypt brokered by the US, Qatar and Turkey.

Fighting hunger

"The food UNRWA delivers is crucial to preventing famine," Tuma emphasized. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) reported that approximately 50,000 children in Gaza suffer from acute malnutrition and are at high risk.

"They need immediate treatment. We hope that with the ceasefire we will be able to deliver the therapeutic nutrition they desperately need," said UNICEF representative Ricardo Pires.

UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher said on Thursday that all UN humanitarian agencies were "mobilized to deliver aid to Gaza."

Speaking to reporters, he stressed UNRWA's "indispensable role" in distributing humanitarian supplies across the sector and recalled the UN's central role in US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan.

The ceasefire is in question

Despite ceasefire declarations, humanitarian teams working in the enclave reported that fighting was still ongoing on Friday morning. However, UN operations continue.

On Thursday, a UNICEF team arrived in Gaza City to rescue two infants who were in incubators. "Thankfully, thanks to the efforts of our colleagues and medical workers on the ground, the children survived and were reunited with their families today," Pires said.

He added that the team had to wait 15 hours to gain access to the city as "the situation on the ground remained extremely volatile and clashes occurred."

These reports were confirmed by UNRWA management: according to agency staff, airstrikes were again recorded in the enclave on Friday morning. Juliet Tuma also reported that more than 370 UNRWA staff members have been killed since the conflict began following Hamas attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

“This is the largest loss of life among UN personnel in the history of the organization,” she emphasized.

Call for the resumption of medical evacuations

World Health Organization (WHO) spokesman Christian Lindmeier joined calls for "unimpeded access for humanitarian aid along all possible routes."

He stressed the need to resume emergency medical evacuations from Gaza to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as flexible funding needed "for recovery."

Hands heal, minds suffer: an alarming diagnosis for European medicine

October 10, 2025 Healthcare

This Friday, World Mental Health Day, the World Health Organization (WHO) presented the results of the largest study to date on the mental health of European healthcare workers. Its findings are staggering: one in three healthcare workers suffers from depression or anxiety, and one in ten has experienced passive suicidal ideation in the past two weeks.

The survey covered more than 90,000 doctors and nurses from all European Union countries, as well as Iceland and Norway. Its findings highlight a systemic crisis caused by years of underfunding of healthcare and a disregard for the well-being of those who save lives every day.

Anxiety and suicidal thoughts

Doctors and nurses work in conditions that undermine their mental health: a third of them experience threats or bullying, and one in ten experiences physical violence or sexual harassment. A quarter of doctors work more than 50 hours a week; a significant portion of medical staff live in constant anxiety due to temporary employment contracts.

Particularly alarming is the fact that 10 percent of respondents admitted to occasionally having thoughts of suicide or self-harm. These "passive" suicidal thoughts are not just fleeting experiences, but harbingers of potential tragedies. Healthcare workers working in violent environments, with grueling shifts and night shifts, are twice as likely to experience such thoughts as the average person.

"The survey results are a stark reminder: the effectiveness of our health systems depends directly on the health of those who work within them," said Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, emphasizing that the current situation can be changed. Suggested measures include zero tolerance for violence and harassment, revised shift schedules and overtime, reducing workload through effective recruitment and digitalization, and ensuring access to confidential psychological support.

Enthusiasm in spite of stress

Despite external pressures and fatigue, most healthcare workers continue to find meaning in their work. Three out of four doctors and two out of three nurses surveyed said they are satisfied with their profession and feel its significance. This speaks to a deep commitment to their work, but also highlights the need for systemic support to maintain this enthusiasm and prevent burnout, the report's authors note.

Mélanie Desbarrey, a radiology specialist from France, says fatigue and overwork often lead to mistakes. According to her, 66 percent of medical students in France have experienced depression at least once, and 21 percent have had suicidal thoughts. She believes that enforcing working hours laws and adequate funding are key to protecting the mental health of medical professionals.

The problem extends far beyond personal well-being. Mental burnout in healthcare workers directly impacts patients and society as a whole. In some countries, up to 40 percent of doctors and nurses with depressive symptoms have taken sick leave, and up to a third have considered leaving the profession. This means not only a staffing shortage but also a decline in the quality of medical care, longer wait times, and increased workload for those who remain.

Work on mistakes

The WHO is calling on countries to take immediate action. Priority steps include eliminating violence, flexible shift planning, equitable distribution of overtime, overall workload reduction, expanding access to mental health care, and regular monitoring of healthcare workers. All of these measures can be implemented by reallocating existing resources.

"We cannot afford to lose healthcare workers to burnout, depression, or violence," concluded Hans Kluge. "Concern for their well-being is not just a moral obligation. It's the key to ensuring every patient receives timely and high-quality care."
