The UN’s highest court has ordered Israel to prevent destruction in Gaza.
The Israeli war has ravaged the Gaza Strip. Eighty-five percent of the population has been displaced.
Much of the vital infrastructure is so badly damaged that experts estimate it will take decades to rebuild.
An order from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) states that Israel must take measures to prevent acts of genocide and must ensure the delivery of aid to civilians in Gaza.
But the military largely ignored the decision and instead intensified its bombing campaign.
What can be done to force Israel to comply?
