There will be consequences if all actors in the Israel-Hamas war do not respect international human rights law, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk is warning, amid concerns about the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

"The message is, to all parties: respect international humanitarian law, because if you don't, it will have consequences," he said. “And it must have consequences, from an accountability perspective, to all parties to the conflict.

Noting that the UN has supplies waiting on the Egyptian border to come in to Gaza, Turk said the current situation "raises very serious concerns from an international humanitarian law perspective."Asked how the UN determines if an actual breach has occurred, such as the forcible transfer of civilians, Turk said it is "always very complicated," depending on the circumstances.

"International humanitarian law is clear. You need to make sure that food, fuel, water, medical supplies are provided to a civilian population, to a much beleaguered civilian population that is in distress… And it's obvious for what reason there is that obligation, because otherwise, people will die.

Maren Morris has filed for divorce from her husband Ryan Hurd, citing the prominent country music couple's "irreconcilable differences" after five years of marriage.Special prosecutors are seeking to recharge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in a 2021 fatal shooting on a movie set in New Mexico.
