South Africa calls on International Justice to take additional emergency measures against Israel to prevent famine in Gaza. In a statement, South Africa urged the court to order new measures without holding a hearing in light of the situation, which it described as extremely urgent.

This is the third request submitted by South Africa against Israel since the start of the devastating occupation war on the Gaza Strip more than 5 months ago. The Ministry of Health in Gaza Strip announced that the death toll from malnutrition and dehydration in the Strip had risen to 20.
