"World Court's Unanimous Order: Israel Must Prevent Famine in Gaza"

The International Court of Justice has unanimously ordered Israel to take all necessary and effective action to ensure basic food supplies to Gaza's Palestinian population and halt the spreading famine, in response to South Africa's accusations of genocide in Gaza. The order comes as Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters battle around Gaza's Al Shifa Hospital, with the court observing worsening conditions and famine in Gaza. Israel has not yet commented on the ruling, but has stated efforts to expand humanitarian aid access to Gaza. The United States supports increasing humanitarian assistance to Gaza but does not believe a genocide has taken place.
