The World Health Organisation has said the Gaza ceasefire could boost aid deliveries to 600 trucks daily amid reports that Israel’s security cabinet has given the green light to a ceasefire deal with Hamas.
The body also said more than $10 billion is required to restore Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.
WHO representative in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Dr. Rik Peeperkorn, expressed the optimism in a statement yesterday
“The target is to get between 500 and 600 trucks in per day over the coming weeks,” Peeperkorn said.
This would represent “a huge increase” from the 40 to 50 lorries reaching Gaza in recent months and be similar to the level of aid reaching Gaza before war erupted on Oct. 7, 2023.
