ICJ agrees with SA and orders Israel to ensure more aid reaches Gaza

The ICJ said because of Israel’s failure to comply with its initial order, it was necessary for the Court to indicate further provisional measures.has agreed with South Africa’s assertion that the situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly since the initial order on 26 January, which Israel has failed to comply with.

“Palestinians in Gaza are no longer facing only a risk of famine, as noted in the Order of 26 January, 2024, but that famine is setting in, with at least 31 people, including 27 children, having already died of malnutrition and dehydration”.The Court unanimously ordered Israel to take measures, including opening more land crossings to allow food, water, fuel and other supplies into Gaza to tackle crippling shortages in the war-ravaged enclave.

The ICJ said the provisional measures supplement those of 26 January, which ordered Israel to refrain from committing genocidal acts against Palestinians in Gaza and to prevent and punish direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to members of the Palestinian group in Gaza.Magwenya said the changing circumstances in Gaza warrant the implementation of new strategies.
