ISTANBUL (AA) – Since the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued provisional measures against Israel in the Gaza Strip, where the army has forcibly deprived the people of food and water, Israel has killed 1,048 Palestinians and injured 1,800 others.

On the 119th day, Israeli forces continued their attacks on the Gaza Strip, disregarding international law and causing a humanitarian catastrophe by displacing the vast majority of the population.

According to the Health Ministry data in Gaza, since the ICJ ruled against Israel on Jan. 26, the Israeli army has carried out 108 massacres in Gaza.

Since Jan. 27, the Israeli army has killed 1,048 Palestinians and injured 1,800 in Gaza.

Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas last October.

The onslaught has killed more than 26,000 people, mostly women and children, displaced 85% of the blockaded enclave's population, and created conditions for famine. Israel says 1,200 people were killed in the initial Hamas attack.

The International Court of Justice, in its interim ruling in the genocide case filed by South Africa, ordered Israel to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza and enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians.

Tel Aviv also has to submit a report to the ICJ on all measures taken to give effect to this order within one month.
