First Alert: WCK Serving Meals to Airport Workers During Partial Government Shutdown

WCK Volunteer Killed by Israeli Strike in Gaza

March 27, 2025

Our hearts are heavy today as we mourn the loss of one of our volunteers in Gaza. Israeli strikes hit near one of our WCK-supported community kitchens just as meals were being distributed. Jalal was tragically killed and six other people were injured. We will continue to support community kitchens throughout the region and operate our field kitchens where possible, based on daily assessments. We hope for peace for all and a lasting ceasefire.
