Since the war began, WCK has served more than 130 million meals and baked over 80 million loaves of bread. But now it cannot continue, the organization announces.
Our trucks – loaded with food and supplies – are waiting in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel, ready to drive into Gaza, says WCK's founder José Andrés.
But they cannot move without permission. Humanitarian aid must be allowed to flow.
The blockade was introduced. According to human rights organizations, it is about a "starvation tactic" that can amount to war crimes.
Malnutrition and hunger are becoming increasingly common in Gaza as Israel's blockade has entered its third month. According to aid organizations, the lack of food and other supplies has made the area approach starvation.
