Palestine's request to the UN top court alleges that Israel's ongoing military operation is"part of a systematic effort to wipe Palestinian society and its culture and social institutions from the map"
"The Israeli onslaught has obliterated and damaged, beyond recognition, Gaza's hospitals, mosques, churches, universities, schools, homes, shops, and infrastructure. Indeed, the legal interests of the State of Palestine are very directly concerned by the case submitted by South Africa and may be affected by the decision in the case," the filing said.
"Israeli troops also took over the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, further slowing sporadic deliveries of aid for Gaza's 2.3 million people. Earlier this week, the UN refugee agency for Palestinians announced it would suspend food distribution in Rafah, citing a lack of supplies and the lack of security in the densely populated city,"
