World Central Kitchen, an American NGO, has suspended its operations in Gaza following an Israeli airstrike that targeted a vehicle carrying its employees. The organization expressed heartbreak over the incident, confirming that at least one Palestinian humanitarian working with them was killed. The Israeli military described the deceased individual as a ‘terrorist’ involved in prior violent acts. WCK, founded by chef José Andrés, has been active in providing meals amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, significantly impacting local communities since October 2023.
