The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an order on Thursday calling on Israel to allow unimpeded access for humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, which the UN has warned is on the verge of famine.
Why it matters: The court's ruling is part of a growing international pressure campaign to push Israel to do more to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. It came as part of a case, brought by South Africa, accusing Israel of state-sanctioned genocide in Gaza.
