"UN Court Orders Israel to Prevent Famine in Gaza"

The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to open more land crossings to allow food, water, fuel, and medical supplies into Gaza, following a case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of acts of genocide in its military campaign against Hamas. The court also instructed Israel to ensure its military does not take actions that could harm Palestinians' rights under the Genocide Convention and to report back on its implementation of the orders. South Africa welcomed the decision, while Israel has denied the allegations and accused the UN of failing to properly organize aid deliveries. The court's order comes amid reports of widespread famine and malnutrition in Gaza, with the UN warning that Palestinians are facing a risk of famine.
