DUBAI, Thursday, May 2, 2024 (WAFA) – Chef José Andrés, director of the World Central Kitchen, has announced that his team will resume operations in the Gaza Strip, after its interruption due to a deadly Israeli attack killing several of its employees last month.

"We have decided that we must continue our mission" and "give food to the inhabitants in these particularly difficult times," the NGO said.

"We have 276 trucks, with the equivalent of 8 million meals, ready to enter the Rafah crossing," the organization wrote, claiming to have already distributed "more than 43 million meals".

WCK had stopped its work in Gaza, due to the attacks of April 1, when Israeli missiles hit a convoy of the organization in central Gaza, even though the Israeli occupation forces had been informed of its presence in the area in advance.

The tragedy outraged the international community and various governments, and several humanitarian organizations left the area because of the insecurity to which humanitarian workers were exposed.
