Israel is continuing to stifle the entry of aid into Gaza, impeding humanitarian operations in the devastated enclave, as the International Court of Justice rules that the country must meet the basic needs of Gaza's population.
According to UNRWA, Israel is continuing to ban the agency's entry of aid into Gaza, meaning the enclave is being denied access to UNRWA's food stocks. UNRWA says it has enough food parcels to feed 1.1 million people.
Hundreds of people starved to death in Gaza during Israel's genocidal war on the territory, and food is still in desperately short supply.
On Tuesday, the World Food Programme said that its own scale-up of aid into Gaza is being limited by the opening of only two aid crossings, meaning only 750 metric tons of the required 2,000 tons of food is entering the enclave daily.
ICJ ruled that Israel is obligated to meet the basic needs of Palestinians as an occupying power, including through the UN's agency for Palestine refugees, which it has banned from operating where Israel controls. Israel is still considered by the ICJ to be in illegal occupation of the Gaza Strip as well as the West Bank.
