"As an occupying power, Israel is obliged to ensure the basic needs of the local population, including the supplies essential for their survival."
"The court recalls Israel's obligation not to use starvation of the civilian population as a method of warfare."
"The court considers that Israel is under an obligation to agree to and facilitate relief schemes provided by the United Nations and its entities, including UNRWA."
The International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must meet the fundamental needs of people in the Gaza Strip, including facilitating passage of humanitarian aid. The court stated that, as an occupying power, Israel is obliged to ensure supplies essential for survival and recalled Israel's obligation not to use starvation as a method of warfare. The panel of 11 judges found Israel has not substantiated accusations that UNRWA staff are Hamas members and said Israel must agree to and facilitate UN-provided relief schemes, including UNRWA. US Vice President Vance met Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss security and post-war Gaza plans, and bodies of 30 Palestinians were returned.
