Human Rights Watch says Israel flouting ICJ

Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the International Court of Justice’s ruling against Israel underlines the “gravity of the situation in Gaza”.

The group said Palestinians are facing a famine in Gaza, after the UN’s top court ordered Israel to stop attacking Rafah and open its border crossing. 

“Yet the Israeli government continues to flout the World Court’s binding orders by obstructing the entry of lifesaving aid and services,” HRW said.
