It also asked on Tuesday that the court order Israel to allow unimpeded access to Gaza for UN officials, organisations providing humanitarian aid, and journalists and investigators. It added that Israel has so far ignored and violated earlier court orders. "Israel must be stopped. South Africa is before you again today to respectfully ask the court to invoke its powers. ..to order a remedy that will stop Israel," said Adila Hassim, another lawyer for South Africa.
"There is nothing humanitarian about these humanitarian zones," he said."Israel's genocide of Palestinians continues through military attacks and man-made starvation."on Wednesday the short notice the court gave for the hearings did not allow sufficient legal preparation, adding that was"a telling sign".
