José Andrés visits Gaza as WCK expands efforts

 

José Andrés visits Gaza team as WCK prepares to scale up to one million meals a day Chef José Andrés was in Gaza today visiting World Central Kitchen teams at one of our high-capacity field kitchens, a bakery, and two facilities in the Deir al-Balah area. José met with local team members who have led efforts to keep the organization cooking in the face of widespread hunger and severely limited aid.  José met with WCK teams at one of our high-capacity field kitchens, a bakery, and two facilities in the Deir al-Balah area. José’s visit to the region is part of WCK’s efforts to advocate for a dramatic increase in humanitarian aid to Palestinians to avert starvation, the release of all Israeli hostages, and an end to the war.   WCK is seeking to rapidly scale up production to an unprecedented one million hot meals a day. The ambitious plan requires an increase to five high-capacity field kitchens and enough supplies to outfit scores of smaller community kitchens at the neighborhood level throughout Gaza.    WCK will also need extended supply chain access through multiple entry points and the ability to send in more than 100 trucks daily, as well as permission to directly import fuel.  Help Us Serve 1 Million Meals Daily in Gaza Read the full story about José’s visit and WCK’s goal of serving one million meals daily in Gaza. ñ
