The ICJ reaffirmed its 26 January provisional orders to Israel with only the Israeli ad hoc judge and Judge Sebutinde again voting against, and ruled unanimously in favor of South Africa’s 6 March 2024 request for additional provisional measures to stop the famine in Gaza, ordering Israel to:

Take all necessary and effective measures to ensure, without delay, in full co-operation with the United Nations, the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance, including food, water, electricity, fuel, shelter, clothing, hygiene and sanitation requirements, as well as medical supplies and medical care to Palestinians throughout Gaza, including by increasing the capacity and number of land crossing points and maintaining them open for as long as necessary;

The court also ordered Israel to not commit any of the crimes of genocide:

Ensure with immediate effect that its military does not commit acts which constitute a violation of any of the rights of the Palestinians in Gaza as a protected group under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, including by preventing, through any action, the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian assistance;

and ordered Israel to report back within a month, both of which were passed with only ad hoc judge Barak voting against:

Decides that the State of Israel shall submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to this Order, within one month as from the date of this Order.
