The ICJ, the UN's top court, said the situation in Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of people took shelter after the start of Israel's war with Hamas, had become "disastrous".

The court also ordered Israel to open the Rafah crossing for emergency aid, and to report back on its progress in a month. Israel is also not doing enough to comply with evacuation orders, the court said.

The Israeli government is unlikely to comply with the ruling, which comes after South Africa lodged an emergency request with the court for it to order a halt to the fighting.
