Welcome news for Palestinians in Gaza: WCK’s team💙in Gaza delivered hundreds of meals to patients and staff at Al-Awda hospital in northern Gaza today. Their network of kitchens supports the food needs of medical centers all across Gaza struggling to cope with the desperate health needs of Palestinians impacted by the war. #ChefsForGaza#IsraelHamasWar#HumanitarianAid#WorldCentralKitchen is providing food to Palestinians in Gaza, Ukrainians, Brazilians… To donate: https://donate.wck.org/give/588524/?_gl=1
A new analysis from #HumanRightWatch argues that numerous attacks on humanitarian relief operations by #Israeli forces prove the bombing that killed 7 people was "far from being an isolated 'mistake.'"
The Israeli occupation's takeover of the #Rafah border crossing not only blocked the entry of humanitarian aid but forced the #WorldCentralKitchen TO HALT ITS OPERATIONS, forcing hundreds of Palestinians into even more difficulty in securing food.
In their statement, the WCK said, "Our field kitchens & community kitchens outside evacuation zones provided >168K meals in communities around Rafah & Deir al-Balah."
World Central Kitchen nimmt Arbeit in Gaza wieder auf
Vor vier Wochen wurden sieben Helfer von World Central Kitchen bei einem israelischen Angriff im Gazastreifen getötet - die Hilfsorganisation zog sich daraufhin zurück. Nun soll die Arbeit wieder aufgenommen werden.
"For three-and-a-half long hours on Jan. 29, the cellphone in 6-year old Hind Rajab’s hands was the closest thing she had to a lifeline. Alone in the back seat of a car outside a #Gaza City gas station, she was drifting in and out of consciousness, surrounded by bodies, as she told emergency dispatchers that #Israeli tanks were rumbling closer.
...Paramedics were on their way, the dispatchers kept telling her: Hold on."
"Humanitarian officials have warned that a system of coordination with Israel’s military, designed to protect their aid deliveries and lifesaving ambulance maneuvers, is broken. #Israeli strikes on a #WorldCentralKitchen convoy that killed seven aid workers in #Gaza on April 1 and stirred global outrage...
Hind’s case touched a nerve around the world... her recorded cries for help offered a glimpse into the terrors faced by civilians." #GiftArticle https://wapo.st/4aCoCqA
If #Israel will bomb a convoy of vehicles with #WorldCentralKitchen logos visible from every conceivable angle during movements they coordinated with the #IDF & whose only crime was to feed people in #Gaza who'd otherwise starve, imagine what they're doing to everyone else there.
It wasn't that long ago that they killed one of the Israeli hostages that managed to escape from #HAMAS.
"I’m sorry my friend…I wish I never founded WCKitchen..you would be alive somewhere today, smiling & making somebody somewhere feel like they were the most beloved person in the world…That how I always felt with you…"
the Palestinian American doctor who walked out of the WH meeting last night:
He understood "it would be the first time that the President would hear from people who were actually on the ground in Gaza, since Oct 7. [WOW].
"It was a few members from the Muslim American community, people who had also been on the ground in Gaza, ready to give their firsthand, eyewitness testimony. [I was] the only Palestinian-American." [DOUBLE F*CKING WOW]
"[I understood] that it was going to be some sort of working dinner" re "the humanitarian catastrophe in #Gaza"
"The President walks in…he just says: 'This is a listening session, we're here to hear you guys out…we're working very hard on it.' There's no mention of Gaza, or Palestine, or #WorldCentralKitchen, people who have been killed, the starvation or the famine in the north, or the looming invasion in Rafah, which we're all very concerned about & trying to communicate a sense of urgency"
This is not a friendly fire incident . This is in fact just one step shy of directly attacking U.S. forces. We need an appropriate change of stance, spoken out loud and then appropriately acted upon. If #Israeli forces are that disheveled trust levels now require a very very public and transparent deprecation #WorldCentralKitchen#JoseAndres#Israel #Genocide
Chef Jose Andres says the seven aid workers killed points to a dark reality in #Gaza https://youtu.be/ItlCNAbV658?feature=shared
Angriff auf Helfer im Gazastreifen: Organisationen fordern mehr Schutz
Nach dem Tod von Mitarbeitern der Organisation World Central Kitchen wächst die Sorge um die weitere Versorgung der Menschen im Gazastreifen. Die meisten Hilfswerke wollen bleiben - fordern aber konkrete Sicherheitsgarantien von Israel.
One way you can help the people of Gaza right now is to simply open news stories about World Central Kitchen to drive up views. This story is now all over the news, as it should be, and this attention to the misuse of US supplied weapons to kill aid workers will put pressure on those who have ignored calls to allow more aid to reach civilians and to stop the indiscriminate attacks on civilians. #Gaza#WorldCentralKitchen
#Israel has said it has informed the families of 31 people held in the territory since 7 October that their relatives are dead. The news came as the Qatari prime minister said #Hamas had given a “generally positive” response to proposals for a deal trading a break in the fighting and release of #Palestinian prisoners for the return of more #hostages.
The investigation determined that a colonel had authorized the series of deadly #DroneStrikes on the convoy based on one major’s observation — from grainy drone-camera footage — that someone in the convoy was armed. That observation turned out to be untrue. #WorldCentralKitchen#Gaza
“Let’s be very clear. This is tragic, but it is not an anomaly,” #ScottPaul, of the humanitarian group #Oxfam, “The killing of aid workers in #Gaza has been systemic.”
