Israel's total siege of Gaza reaches day 60 as ICJ hearings on genocide case continue

In March 2025, Israel ended the ceasefire and prisoner swap deal established in January with Hamas and renewed military actions along with a blockade targeting Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants.
This escalation followed rising violence since October 2023 and increased attacks in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, prompting international concern over worsening humanitarian conditions.
Humanitarian organizations and UN representatives condemned the blockade and attacks on aid workers, noting that humanitarian assistance must not be used as a bargaining tool or weaponized.
ICJ hearings at The Hague addressed Israel's legal obligations and cited prohibitions under international law against collective punishment and starvation, while global calls urged the resumption of aid and a lasting ceasefire.
The sustained blockade and violence have caused over 51,000 Palestinian deaths, deepening the crisis and underscoring the urgency of diplomatic solutions to avoid further regional destabilization.
