Secondo la dichiarazione, il Sudafrica ha richiesto ulteriori misure provvisorie alla luce della situazione a Rafah, dove più di 1,4 milioni di palestinesi si stanno attualmente rifugiando in attesa di un attacco su vasta scala promesso da Israele, all’inizio di questa settimana. \”La Corte rileva che i più recenti sviluppi nella Striscia di Gaza, e a Rafah, in particolare, ‘aumenterebbero in modo esponenziale quello che e’ gia’ un incubo umanitario con conseguenze regionali indicibili’\”, si legge nella dichiarazione. \”Questa situazione pericolosa richiede l’attuazione immediata ed effettiva delle misure provvisorie indicate dalla Corte nella sua ordinanza del 26 gennaio 2024, che sono applicabili in tutta la Striscia di Gaza, compresa Rafah\”, continua.

The ICJ will not issue any further interim measures
In a statement posted on its website, the International Court of Justice said that the humanitarian situation in Rafah and Israel's upcoming military operation “do not require specifying further interim measures.” According to the statement, South Africa called for further interim measures given the situation in Rafah, where more than 1.4 million Palestinians are currently staying in anticipation of a large-scale attack promised by Israel earlier this week. “The court notes that recent developments in the Gaza Strip, and in Rafah in particular, 'would exponentially worsen what is already a humanitarian nightmare with untold regional consequences,'” the statement said. “This dangerous situation requires the immediate and effective implementation of the interim measures specified by the Court in its order of January 26, 2024, which apply throughout the Gaza Strip, including Rafah,” it added. Last month, the court ordered that “Israel must take all possible measures to prevent the acts set out in Article 2 of the 1948 Genocide Convention during the ongoing war in Gaza.”
