ICJ orders Israel to allow aid into Gaza and says blockade had been a breach

Court also found that Israel had a duty not to impede supply of aid by UN organisations including Unrwa

Israel must allow aid into Gaza, and its restrictions on doing so over the past two years have put it in breach of its obligations, the UN's top court has found.

The stinging advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice in The Hague also found that Israel had a duty not to impede the supply of aid by UN organisations including the beleaguered UN Palestinian relief agency Unrwa, which has been in effect banned from the territory since January.
