The World Health Organisation (WHO) plans to set up a number of field hospitals in Gaza.
Rik Peeperkorn, a representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, announced on Friday that the organisation aims to address the medical needs in the besieged enclave, whose healthcare system has been pushed to the "point of almost complete collapse", according to a UN report in late December.
In a press statement issued in Geneva, Peeperkorn added that aid deliveries to Gaza could be significantly increased under the ceasefire deal, with approximately 600 trucks expected to enter the enclave daily.
