Read our privacy policy World Central Kitchen, the humanitarian group that saw seven of its aid workers killed in an Israeli airstrike earlier this month, said they resumed operations in Gaza on Sunday. “We have been forced to make a decision: stop feeding altogether during one of the worst hunger crises ever, ending our operation that accounted for 62% of all International NGO aid, or keep feeding knowing that aid, aid workers, and civilians are being intimidated and killed,” Erin Gore the CEO of WCK wrote. Ultimately, we decided that we must keep feeding, continuing our mission of showing up to provide food to people during the toughest of times.” The announcement arrives less than a month after an Israeli Defense Forces missile struck a three-car convoy the seven people were travelling in while coordinating aid shipment in central Gaza. Palestinians inspect a vehicle with the logo of the World Central Kitchen wrecked by an Israeli airstrike in Deir al Balah, Gaza Strip on April 2, 2024 The IDF apologised for the incident, claiming it was a “mistake” but WCK is asking for “an impartial and international investigation”.
