Gaza – A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could allow aid deliveries to be increased to 600 trucks per day, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.
The ceasefire, which began on Sunday, has brought a halt to the fighting that has killed more than 2,000 Palestinians and 70 Israelis in the past month.
“The ceasefire is a welcome development that will allow us to scale up our operations,” said WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic.
“We hope that the ceasefire will hold and that we will be able to reach all those in need of assistance.”
The WHO said that it has been delivering aid to Gaza since the beginning of the conflict, but that deliveries have been hampered by the fighting.
“We have been able to deliver some aid, but it has been very difficult,” said Jasarevic.
“The ceasefire will allow us to reach more people with the assistance they need.”
The WHO said that the aid deliveries will include food, water, medical supplies, and other essential items.
“We are working closely with our partners to ensure that the aid is delivered to those who need it most,” said Jasarevic.
The ceasefire has been welcomed by the international community, which has called for an end to the violence and a resumption of peace talks.
The United Nations Security Council has called for a full and unconditional ceasefire and has urged both sides to respect international humanitarian law.
The European Union has also called for a ceasefire and has said that it is ready to support the peace process.
The United States has said that it is working with both sides to achieve a ceasefire and that it is committed to a two-state solution to the conflict.
