WCK Feeding Families in Gaza & Israel

 

Feeding families impacted by the conflict in Gaza and Israel Following an extreme escalation of violence in early October, World Central Kitchen teams arrived to support impacted families in Israel, Gaza, and neighboring countries, should fleeing families need assistance. SUPPORT OUR WORK Hear a message from José. Innocent people are caught in the middle of this volatile and escalating situation in both Gaza and Israel. In the midst of this violence, access to food and the means to cook for their loved ones is hampered. Members of WCK’s Relief Team have arrived in the region and are forming a network of new connections and working to provide critical food support. In Gaza, we are working with Anera, a local organization that WCK has partnered with during previous emergency responses. They are preparing food kits to be distributed to families in the region where access to food is extremely limited. In Israel, we have begun working with local restaurants, serving meals to people who have been displaced from their homes. WCK teams are also set up in border countries, should we see large numbers of refugees fleeing home. We are trying to grow our efforts—scaling up to feed more people in the coming days—while also prioritizing the safety of our partners and our teams. The situation is changing constantly, and WCK is working to adapt our response as needed. We are committed to providing nourishing meals and food kits to families who need support, and our teams will continue to seek ways to do that for residents in both Gaza and Israel.  SUPPORT OUR WORK
