Impeding relief supplies to Gaza’s population may constitute a crime under the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) jurisdiction, the court’s top prosecutor told a news conference in Egypt on Sunday.

Karim Khan also said Israel must make “discernable efforts, without further delay to make sure civilians receive basic foods, medicine”.

Israel, which is not a member of the ICC, has previously rejected the court’s jurisdiction and does not formally engage with its investigations.
