Israel insists it complies with international law, citing 450,000 tonnes of aid delivered during the ceasefire. However, the WFP reports 116,000 tonnes of food remain stranded at closed border crossings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ICJ previously ordered Israel to allow unimpeded aid in 2024 rulings. With Gaza facing its longest-ever blockade, human rights groups accuse Israel of using aid as collective punishment. Over 52,000 Palestinians have died since October 2023, per Gaza\u2019s health ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has begun hearings on Israel\u2019s compliance with UN immunities after it severed ties with UNRWA in October 2024, accusing the agency of harboring Hamas members\u2014a claim UNRWA denies, BBC reported.
