The WCK team was traveling in a deconflicted zone in two armored cars branded with the WCK logo and a soft skin vehicle.

Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route.

“This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable,” said World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore.

Obviously the IDF has been committing war crimes since the beginning of this ""war"" but this is hitting me particularly hard bc my little brother worked with WCF in Ukraine for 9 months, and this organization in particular is doing so much good worldwide and is so trusted and if the IDF will attack THEM, the IDF has zero compunction against attacking ANYONE.

It's just so transparent that they'll do anything to further their genocide.

Anyways, PLEASE consider donating to World Central Kitchen, which is currently running relief efforts in Gaza, Ukraine, and Haiti, and has served over 350 million meals around the world for over a decade now.
