15 tons of WCK-provided aid air dropped into northern Gaza

March 7, 2024

World Central Kitchen participated in another airdrop of desperately-needed humanitarian aid into northern Gaza. In partnership with the Royal Jordanian Air Force, we provided 52,700 meals, totaling 15 tons of aid, to Palestinian families in war-torn communities. Our teams have provided more than 32 million meals in the five months since serving our first plates of food to displaced families.

WCK and José, our Founder and Chief Feeding Officer, have been tirelessly pushing to establish faster, more reliable entry for food aid going to Gaza. Access of aid into northern Gaza is extremely limited and airdrops offer a lifeline to families on the brink of famine. “Food airdrops are a short, temporary, but powerful way to deliver some food to the north,” said José.

Help us continue supporting Palestinian families.
