South Africa on Wednesday petitioned the International Court of Justice to impose fresh emergency measures on Israel over what it described as the “widespread starvation” resulting from its Gaza offensive.
It is the second time Pretoria has asked the court for additional measures — its first request in February was denied.
South Africa said it was “compelled to return to the Court in light of the new facts and changes in the situation in Gaza — particularly the situation of widespread starvation” during the offensive.
