World Central Kitchen resume operations in Gaza following fatal airstrike
A month after seven aid workers for the World Central Kitchen were killed in an Israeli air strike, the food charity has resumed distributing food in Gaza.
The charity said it has 276 trucks with eight million meals to enter through the Rafah crossing. “Ultimately, we decided we must keep feeding,” the charity said on Sunday.
The deaths of seven aid workers – three of them ex-British servicemen, sparked international outrage.
The Israel Defense Forces admitted “grave mistakes” led to the fatal strike against the workers and dismissed two senior officers over the incident.
In a statement on Sunday, WCK CEO Erin Gore said: “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.”
