The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued a unanimous decision ordering Israel to enable the unhindered flow of aid into Gaza to prevent a famine crisis. The court's ruling comes in the context of the ongoing genocide case brought by South Africa against Israel.
The ICJ has compelled Israel to allow urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance into Gaza, including access to food, water, electricity, fuel, shelter, clothing, hygiene and sanitation requirements, and medical supplies. This decision aims to address the rising number of Palestinians facing starvation in the besieged enclave.
