Israel-Gaza Conflict: International Response and Humanitarian Efforts Amid Escalating Tensions

The Israel-Gaza conflict has prompted South Africa to urge the International Court of Justice to order a halt to Israel's offensive in Rafah, leading to an expected response from Israel. Satellite images reveal widening destruction as Israeli forces advance towards central Rafah.

Amid warnings of a potential famine in Gaza, Israel is sending more troops to the region despite international concerns over civilian safety. The U.S. military has set up a floating pier to deliver humanitarian aid, with the first shipment expected within the next 24-48 hours, aiming to alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Foreign ministers from 13 countries have cautioned against a major offensive in Rafah, highlighting growing international apprehension towards the conflict. These developments underscore the urgent need for international intervention and humanitarian assistance in the midst of escalating tensions and civilian casualties in the region.
