The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza.

The United Nations' top court ordered Israel to take steps to prevent genocide in Gaza and allow in humanitarian aid.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued the ruling on Friday in a case brought by South Africa.

The judges voted overwhelmingly in favor of six emergency measures that included asking Israel to punish those who incited genocide.
