Kinderen in Gaza sterven van de kou. Dit is het hedendaagse kerstverhaal uit het Heilige Land. Boven de Gazaanse hemel geen ster maar Israëlische drones en stortregen. De genocide is niet voorbij, slechts vertraagd en deels gedelegeerd aan de genadeloze weerselementen. Stuk in @standaard.be.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Belgium submitted a formal request on Tuesday to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to join South Africa's lawsuit against Israel. </p>
<p>In a statement, the Netherlands-based court said that Belgium is focusing its intervention on the interpretation of the concept of "genocidal intent" set out in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.</p>
<p>The ICJ, which is the highest judicial body of the United Nations, said that Belgium had formally filed a declaration of intervention in the proceedings, based on Article 63 of the court's statute.</p>
<p>South Africa filed a lawsuit against Israel in December 2023, accusing it of violating the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in its actions against Palestinians in Gaza.</p>
<p>Countries including Turkey, Brazil, Colombia, Ireland, Mexico and Spain have joined this lawsuit. </p>

Wie wil weten hoe veilig en goed de zorg in een verpleeghuis is, tast vaak in het duister. Zorginstellingen mogen zelf bepalen wat ze openbaar maken over hun kwaliteit, zonder vaste meetlat of verplichte cijfers. En dat terwijl er jaarlijks zo’n 20 miljard naar de ouderenzorg gaat.
