Rumor – A Chinese pilot allegedly bypassed an air blockade to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, and a video supposedly proves it.
Analysis
Touching or heroic images during armed conflicts are often taken out of context and turned into viral content with false interpretations. That’s what happened with a video showing a young Chinese woman next to a military plane, followed by aerial maneuvers.
According to posts, the woman was a Chinese pilot who broke through air blockades to deliver supplies to Gaza. “The pilot who flew the plane and broke the blockade to help innocent people starving in Gaza,” the video caption reads. Watch:

Fact-check
The supposed heroic act moved many online, but the details do not reflect reality. Let’s answer three questions to clarify: 1) Does the video show a Chinese pilot who bypassed an air blockade to help Gaza? 2) Who is the woman in the video? 3) Did China send aid to Gaza by air?
Does the video show a Chinese pilot who bypassed an air blockade to help Gaza?
No. While the video is real, it’s taken out of context. The woman in the video is Chinese pilot Xu Fengcan, but she was not part of any humanitarian mission related to Gaza. The footage was captured during the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in November 2024.
Who is the woman shown as the Chinese pilot in the video?
As stated, her name is Xu Fengcan, one of the first female pilots trained by China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force. She was born in October 1999 and serves as a military pilot. Her appearance in the video is tied to a public demonstration at an air show—not a Middle East mission. More details can be found on the official CCTV channel.
Did China send food supplies to Gaza by plane?
There’s no reliable record of China air-dropping food in Gaza. This claim had already been debunked by Boatos.org. Additionally, no credible media or official source has reported any direct Chinese air relief mission in the region.
Conclusion
The video showing a Chinese pilot next to a military aircraft has no link to humanitarian efforts in Gaza. The woman is Xu Fengcan, participating in an aviation event in China. The narrative that she broke an air blockade to deliver aid is false and based on manipulated imagery taken out of context.
