Gaza Strip: Despite the International court’s order to stop genocide in Gaza, Israeli attacks have intensified, resulting in the martyrdom of over 185 Palestinians in residential areas and medical centers in Gaza within the past 24 hours.
Israeli forces have besieged Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis for the past six days, and they have abducted Dr. Bassam, the head of the orthopedic surgery department at Al-Nasser Hospital.
Ignoring ICJ’s orders, Israel has continued targeting residential buildings killing innocent civilians. Israeli Occuping Forces bombed homes in Zawaida and Nuseirat refugee camps killing at least 17 Palestinians.
On the other hand, after heavy rainfall in Gaza, the problems of the already beleaguered Palestinians affected by the war have increased due to the additional challenges posed by the cold weather.
It is worth noting that on Friday January 26, International Court of Justice (ICJ) gave its interim ruling on South Africa’s genocide case against Israel. The ICJ ordered Israel to take preventive measures in its war and stop the genocide and demanded “immediate and effective” measures for the delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza
The ICJ’s ruling so far has proved to be ineffective as Israel immediately rejected the ruling on Friday. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the ruling by the and said Israel would continue its war in Gaza. Israel’s Zionist Defence Minister Yoav Gallant who had termed Palestinians as “Human Animals” and had given openly called for genocidal actions against the residents in Gaza at the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza said,
A ex-adviser to Israel’s former President Shimon Peres called the ICJ a “kangaroo court”. He said that it is a “joke” that South Africa has even brought the case.
“Who cares? Literally who cares what the ICJ says?” Mitchell Barak, CEO of Israel-based Keevoon Global Research, told Al Jazeera.
“I’m not going to get concerned about it. At the end of the day, we have to defend our country. We have to get our hostages back. And it’s really not going to matter – it’s just not going to matter,” he said.
Meanwhile, Israel been accused that some staff members of United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) involvement in October 7 attacks. Following this, several Western countries suspended their funding to UNRWA including United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Finland and the Netherlands and Japan, while Ireland and Norway decided to continue funding.
It is important to note that from October 7 to the present, the number of Palestinians martyred in Israeli attacks has exceeded 26,453, including 11,000 children and 7,500 women, and around 8,000 Palestinians have been missing under the rubble since October 7, presumably dead. While so far 65,087 people have been injured. More than half of the victims of the barbaric Israeli attacks, both martyred and injured, are children and women. According to UNICEF, more than 10 children a day lose one or both legs in Gaza due to Israeli attacks.
According to a report by Oxfam, Israel’s military is inflicting an average daily death toll of 250 Palestinians in Gaza, marking an unprecedented and deeply troubling escalation of hostilities. This staggering rate, surpasses any recent major conflict, including Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Yemen.
As of January 20, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that over 85% (1.9 Million people) population has been displaced in various areas of Gaza while relentless Israeli bombardment has destroyed over 70% of homes in Gaza.
The UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths has said that “Gaza has simply become uninhabitable”.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry over 350,000 individuals with chronic illnesses are now deprived of access to medications, posing a potential risk of severe health complications
As per UNICEF, the current daily cases of diarrhea among children have surged to nearly 3,200 cases, marking a 2,000 percent since the start of the war.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that 70 percent of healthcare professionals in Gaza have been forced to flee due to violence, at a time when there is most need of their essential services.
