World Central Kitchen, a food charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés, has been forced to stop its operations in the Gaza Strip after an Israeli strike killed seven of its workers. The charity has been providing food to Gazans facing hunger and had recently started delivering aid by sea. The group will decide on its future plans in the region soon.
For years, World Central Kitchen has provided freshly prepared meals to people in need around the world after natural disasters, like hurricanes or earthquakes, or for those enduring conflicts. The food charity , founded in 2010 by celebrity chef José Andrés, was forced to halt its operations in the Gaza Strip after an apparent Israeli strike killed seven of its workers on Monday – mostly foreigners.
World Central Kitchen has been bringing desperately-needed food to Gazans facing widespread hunger and pioneered the recently launched effort to deliver aid by sea to Gaza. The group said it will make decisions about longer-term plans in the region soon. Its absence, even if temporary, is likely to deepen the war-torn territory's misery as the United Nations warns that famine is imminent
