US EditionSouth Africa presents its arguments against Israel at the ICJ over human rights violations
- South Africa presented its case on April 29, 2025, to the International Court of Justice regarding Israel's obligations to allow humanitarian aid in Gaza amid ongoing conflict.
- This hearing follows Israel's total blockade on Gaza since March 2, 2025, which cut off all food, fuel, and medicine, worsening the humanitarian crisis amid resumed warfare last month.
- The blockade has caused severe malnutrition, with the UN identifying 3,700 acutely malnourished children in March, an 80% increase from February, while hospitals admitted 51 dead and 113 wounded in the past 24 hours.
- South Africa urged Israel to follow ICJ provisional measures requiring aid access, while Israel denies using starvation as warfare and insists it targets only Hamas militants embedded in Gaza's civilian areas.
- The ongoing blockade and conflict have pushed Gaza's aid system toward collapse and highlighted urgent concerns over children's health and the fate of 59 hostages still held in Gaza.
