World Central Kitchen Resumes Operations in Gaza

The humanitarian organization restarts aid delivery after a month's suspension due to the deaths of seven workers in an Israeli airstrike.

  • World Central Kitchen (WCK) has resumed delivering aid in Gaza, four weeks after halting operations when seven of its workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike.
  • The U.S.-based charity, which accounts for 62% of all international NGO aid to Gaza, is continuing its mission amid ongoing conflict and significant humanitarian needs.
  • WCK has 276 trucks ready to distribute almost eight million meals, utilizing crossings from Jordan and maritime routes.
  • Despite resumed operations, WCK continues to demand an independent investigation into the April 1st airstrike and seeks assurances for the safety of aid workers.
  • The organization's efforts are part of a broader response to a severe hunger crisis affecting over a million people in Gaza.
