The International Court of Justice has unanimously ordered Israel, accused by South Africa of genocide in Gaza, to take all necessary and effective action to ensure basic food supplies to the territory's Palestinian population and halt spreading famine.
The new measures were requested by South Africa as part of its ongoing case that accuses Israel of state-led genocide in Gaza. Gaza's health ministry said that patients were being held inside an administration building in Al Shifa that was not equipped to provide them with healthcare. The armed wings of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad militant groups said in a statement they"bombed, with a barrage of mortar shells, gatherings of Israeli soldiers in the vicinity of the Al-Shifa Complex" in a joint operation.
At least 32,552 Palestinians have been killed and 74,980 wounded in Israel's military offensive since 7 October, Gaza's health ministry said. The Palestinian Red Crescent said seven people working for the organisation arrested in a raid on Al-Amal Hospital on 9 February had been released after 47 days in Israeli prisons.Eight members of the association were still being detained, it said in a statement.
