The UN’s top court, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), said Israel must allow UN agencies to deliver aid to Gaza. The court ruled that Israel is obliged to ensure food, water, and medical help reach Palestinian civilians. It rejected Israel’s claims that the UN agency Unrwa supports Hamas, saying there was no proof. Israel called the opinion “political” and said it would not cooperate. The ruling is not legally binding but carries moral weight. The decision follows reports of severe hunger in Gaza, where over 640,000 people face extreme food shortages.
