Israel Opposes World Court Decision On Genocide Prevention In Gaza

The atmosphere of grief of the people of Gaza (Anodalu)

ANKARA - Two weeks have passed since the World Court ordered Israel to take action to reduce the number of victims of genocide in Gaza. But again Israel has always opposed ICJ's decision, and ranging from continuing the ban on humanitarian aid to carrying out deadly attacks.

The UN court considers the lawsuit filed by South Africa that Israel committed genocide to make sense to be recorded in a temporary decision last month. Reporting from Anodalu, the court issued an interim order demanding Israel would stop blocking aid deliveries to Gaza and correcting the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Israeli troops have divided the Gaza Strip region into three parts. There is an Israeli army checkpoint in a divided region. All types of crossings, including humanitarian aid, are not allowed without Israeli permission.

While Israel is threatening to attack anyone trying to pass an unauthorized checkpoint, Israeli troops will fire a convoy of humanitarian aid waiting to go to the northern Gaza Strip from the sea on February 5, although the convoy has obtained permission and coordination from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).

A report made by Anadolu from data published by the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs Coordination (UNOCHA) in early February revealed a decline in the number of aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip despite the ICJ having called for additional humanitarian aid deliveries to civilians after 26 January.

Prior to the ICJ decision on January 26, an average of 156 aid trucks entered Gaza daily, while according to UN data for 11 days after January 26, the average daily aid trucks allowed were only 93 vehicles.

Thus, Israel actually reduced the number of trucks entering Gaza to distribute humanitarian aid by 40 percent after the ICJ decision. As a result, the crisis of basic needs as well as medicines and health supplies in the Gaza Strip is increasing. Before October 7, an average of about 500 aid trucks entered Gaza every time in the midst of a blockade
