Four weeks after seven of their colleagues were killed in a controversial missile strike, the World Central Kitchen will restart its humanitarian food aid delivery in Gaza, with more than 275 filled trucks ready to cross the border, CBS News reports.
Chef José Andrés’s Nobel Peace Prize-nominated organization suspended operations in Gaza after the April 1st attack, in which the Israeli military targeted two cars marked with the organization’s logo carrying Palestinian, British, Polish and Australian nationals as well as a dual US-Canadian citizen. The Netanyahu administration called the attack “a grave mistake.”
“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,” World Central Kitchen said in a statement, noting that it’s already delivered two tons of food and has another eight million meals ready to distribute.
