World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of its team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza. The WCK team was traveling in a deconflicted zone in two armored cars branded with the WCK logo and a soft skin vehicle.
Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route.
We join our longtime friend @ChefJoseAndres in mourning this tragic loss of life, and in urging that food no longer be used as a weapon.
