Video provided by Gaza's Civil Defense department showed rescue workers searching through the twisted rubble of a home in Gaza City by flashlight early Saturday morning after it was hit by an Israeli attack. The lack of adequate humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza forms part of South Africa's case that opened this week at the International Court of Justice in The Hague accusing Israel of genocide. In its complaint, South Africa argues Israel has failed to ensure that the medical needs of Palestinians are met, and accuses Israel of “ directly attacking Palestinian hospitals, ambulances and other healthcare facilities in Gaza.” When the case opened on Thursday, South Africa called for broad provisional measures to be implemented, including asking the court to immediately order Israel to halt its offensive and to provide access to “adequate fuel, shelter, clothes, hygiene and sanitization” as well as medical supplies and assistance.
