World Central Kitchen to resume food aid in Gaza


By Andre Rhoden-Paul

World Central Kitchen is to resume distributing food in Gaza, nearly a month after seven of its aid workers were killed in an Israeli air strike.

The aid organisation said it has 276 trucks with eight million meals ready to enter through the Rafah crossing.

“Ultimately, we decided we must keep feeding,” the charity said on Sunday.

Earlier this month, the charity said a convoy leaving a warehouse was attacked by Israel killing seven and sparking an international outcry.

The Israel Defense Forces admitted “grave mistakes” led to the fatal strike against the workers and dismissed two senior officers over the incident.

In a statement on Sunday, WCK CEO Erin Gore said: “The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire.

“We are restarting our operation with the same energy, dignity, and focus on feeding as many people as possible.”
