World Central Kitchen, a renowned American charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés, faced a devastating blow as seven of its aid workers lost their lives in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. The incident disrupted the crucial food supply to the besieged region, where a looming famine threatens the population.
World Central Kitchen, in partnership with the United Arab Emirates, had recently delivered 400 tons of canned goods to Gaza before the attack occurred. The charity had to suspend its operations, with only a portion of the aid unloaded, while the rest was returned to Cyprus.
