As the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip becomes increasingly serious, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to take additional interim measures to ensure humanitarian aid reaches the country, including expanding access routes. .
In response, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has argued that ``the influx of essential relief supplies is not restricted.''
The Israeli military said on the 29th that it killed a senior Hamas military leader at Shifa Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, and is continuing military operations in central and southern Gaza.
Health authorities in the Gaza Strip say 62 people have died in the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 32,552.
As the fighting continues, the International Court of Justice recognized on the 28th that ``the living conditions of the Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip have worsened, and famine has already begun,'' and urged Israel to extend humanitarian aid to the entire Gaza Strip. To ensure that relief supplies reach the Palestinian people, I ordered that all measures be taken, including promptly cooperating with the United Nations and expanding routes for aid supplies to reach the people of Palestine.
In response, a spokesperson for the Israeli Foreign Ministry said on the 29th, ``We are not restricting the influx of essential aid supplies.Israel is working hard to fulfill its legal obligations, including humanitarian assistance.'' I objected.
Prime Minister Netanyahu also met with the families of hostages held in the Gaza Strip on the 28th, stating that ``the hostages can only be recovered with continued strong military pressure,'' and announced that he would not be able to carry out a ground operation in Rafah. It has been announced that preparations are underway.
While Israel continues to maintain its strong stance, there is no prospect that the International Court of Justice's order will lead to an improvement in the humanitarian situation.
