The International Court of Justice intends to talk about the obligation of Israel to facilitate humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank
The case follows a request from the United Nations General Assembly last year for the court to give advice after Israel has prohibited the United Nations UNRWA Agency
Since March, Israel has prevented all aid from reaching Gaza, which has involved international agencies warning serious food shortages
UNRWA is the main provider of assistance to the Palestinians in Gaza, but Israel accused it of being infiltrated by Hamas – an allegation that has been disputed
The hearings begin with submissions of the representatives of the UN and the Palestinians, before the representatives of 38 countries speak. Israel should not make oral submission this week
The audience should work for Five days ending Friday – you can look directly At the top of the page. There will be no regular text updates
