HCJ 201/09, 248/09 - Physicians for Human Rights et al. v. The Prime Minister et al. Judgment

Judgment in the petitions of Physicians for Human Rights and Gisha concerning the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip during Operation "Cast Lead", focusing on the evacuation of casualties to hospitals, attacks on medical teams, and the electricity shortage which prevented the proper functioning of vital systems in Gaza. The petitions were erased after Israel clarified that it recognizes its humanitarian obligations and was ready to discharge them. The court rules that even during hostilities Israel must uphold the obligations enshrined in international humanitarian law, and hopes that even after the fighting is over, Israel will do its utmost to alleviate the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza, which was hard hit during the fighting.
