World Health Organization (WHO) planning document summarizing key planning assumptions, strategic priorities, and selected health sector activities for its 60-day ceasefire response plan within the framework of the One-UN multi-sectoral Gaza Ceasefire Humanitarian Response Plan of October 13, 2025. The plan outlines WHO's approach to scaling up health care access, restoring essential health infrastructure, and addressing the accumulated health crisis from 2 years of siege and bombardment. Priorities include trauma care, communicable disease surveillance, mental health, and health system restoration. A useful reference for public health researchers and health system analysts who need to understand the health response framework WHO designed for the ceasefire period, providing a baseline against which the actual pace of health system recovery can be assessed.
