World reacts to ICJ's order for Israel to stop Rafah offensive

The UN's top court, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), has issued a dramatic ruling, ordering Israel to "immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah".

It acted in support of a South African application last week which sought a number of measures against Israel, accusing it of stepping up what it says is a genocide.

Presiding judge Nawaf Salam said the situation in Gaza had deteriorated since the court last ordered Israel to take steps to improve it.

The ICJ ordered Israel to open the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza to let in aid.

Israel, it added, must provide access for investigators and report back on its progress within one month.

Israel has vehemently denied the allegation and signaled it would ignore any order to halt its operation.
