World Central Kitchen, a non-profit organization founded by celebrity chef Jose Andres, is set to resume its operations in Gaza Strip following an Israeli strike that killed seven of its workers earlier this month. The organization had temporarily halted its activities in Gaza after the strike on April 1, but will now focus on providing food aid to those in need, including in northern Gaza.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, prompting WCK CEO Erin Gore to restart the organization’s operation with renewed dedication. With a history of distributing over 43 million meals, WCK is determined to continue its life-saving mission in Gaza and provide millions more meals to those affected by the conflict.
Despite the tragic attack on its workers, WCK is moving forward with plans to deliver aid by sending trucks through various entry points, including the Rafah crossing and Jordan. Additionally, the organization is exploring ways to deliver aid through the Ashdod Port, showing its commitment to reaching as many people in need as possible.
Following an apology from Israel for the attack that claimed the lives of their aid workers, WCK stated that the Israel Defense Forces have amended their rules of operations. While the organization acknowledges these steps
