(21,352 posts)After a five day pause, limited cooking operations resumed today at World Central Kitchen's Deir al-Balah Field Kitchen in Gaza.
This marks the second time in 2025 our hot meal program has been forced to halt due to a lack of available food supplies. Our teams on the ground are showing deep commitment and resilience, starting to cook again as quickly as possible.
Access to supplies remains fragile. This most recent cooking pause began last Sunday when we ran out of essential ingredients. During the week, we were able to distribute bread and water. Our ability to continue cooking remains uncertain day-to-day.
I am immensely proud of the ongoing work of the WCK Gaza team through unimaginable challenges. It is because of them that we are able to cook again for hospitals and vulnerable families in Deir al-Balah, said Wadhah, WCKs Response Director. Read our full update.
