ICJ says Rafah operation would increase 'humanitarian nightmare' in Gaza

In response to the additional application by South Africa, in which it called on the International Court of Justice to intervene to stop a planned invasion of Rafah, the court said such a military campaign would "exponentially increase what is already a humanitarian nightmare".

However, the court ruled that at this moment there would be no additional measures asserted by the ICJ, and the court further called on Israel to abide by the Genocide Convention.
