Inside the World Central Kitchen’s Work in Gaza

The World Central Kitchen has suspended its relief efforts in Gaza after seven aid workers were ******* in ******** airstrikes on Monday. Videos reveal the challenges of food distribution in a territory under siege.

Zomi Frankcom and Damian Soból arrived in Gaza on a mission to feed Palestinians, documenting their efforts in social media videos like these. Then on April 1, they were ******* by ******** airstrikes, along with five other colleagues, bringing the work of the World Central Kitchen in Gaza to a halt. The charity’s videos offer a rare window into the challenges of food distribution in Gaza, a territory on the brink of famine that’s been cut off from the outside world. Celebrity chef José Andrés started World Central Kitchen in 2010 in response to the earthquake in Haiti. The organization brings meals to areas impacted by natural disasters or conflict, including communities displaced inside ******* after the Oct. 7 attacks. Since October, the group said it delivered more than 43 million meals to Palestinians through community kitchens, truck convoys and airdrops. In mid-March, they were the first to deliver aid by sea with a ship carrying nearly 200 tons of food from Cyprus. The ******** military released footage of the coordination behind that effort, which brought food to northern Gaza, where the U.N. says people are facing catastrophic levels of hunger. “I’m very hopeful that we can be bringing millions and millions of meals daily. We may fail, but the biggest ******** will be not trying.” A second maritime delivery arrived just hours before the *******. In a video statement, the ******** military called the ******* a grave mistake. Since Oct. 7, nearly 200 aid workers have been ******* in Gaza, according to the U.N. And for now, the World Central Kitchen has suspended its operations there.
