South Africa submits urgent application due to humanitarian situation in Gaza. South Africa had already sued Israel at the International Court of Justice at the end of December.
Now the country would like to take urgent action against Israel again. According to the UN, there is a risk of famine if aid deliveries by truck are not increased. Around 2.2 million people live in the Gaza Strip. The Gaza war was triggered by the worst massacre in Israel's history, which terrorists from the Islamist Hamas and other extremist groups carried out in Israel on October 7th.
