The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has delivered a interim ruling calling on Israel to refrain from impeding the delivery of aid into Gaza and improve the humanitarian situation. 

It also ordered Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent acts of genocide in the besieged enclave and to punish incitement to genocide.

However, it did not order Israel to halt military operations in Gaza, one of South Africa’s key demands in the case it brought to The Hague earlier this month.
