RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — "Israel has failed to comply with an order by the United Nations’ top court to provide urgently needed aid to desperate people in the #GazaStrip#HumanRightsWatch said Monday, a month after a landmark ruling in The Hague ordered Israel to moderate its war.
"In a preliminary response to a South African petition accusing Israel of #genocide, the U.N.’s top court ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide in Gaza. It stopped short of ordering an end to its military offensive that has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe in the tiny Palestinian enclave. Israel vehemently denies the charges against it, saying it is fighting a war in self-defense.
"One month later and nearly five months into the war, preparations are underway for Israel to expand its ground operation into #Rafah, #Gaza’s southernmost town along the border with Egypt, where 1.4 million Palestinians have flooded into in search of safety.
"Early Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu’s office said the army had presented to the War Cabinet its operational plan for Rafah as well as plans to evacuate civilians from the battle zones. It gave no further details."
