José Andrés on CBS Mornings: What It Takes to Serve 1 Million Meals a Day in Gaza
World Central Kitchen reached a milestone, serving one million meals daily across Gaza. Thanks to our network of Field Kitchens, community kitchens, bakeries, and partners, more families—close to half of the total population—can count on a reliable meal each day.
Still, progress does not mean the crisis is over. Even as conditions have improved relative to earlier months, hunger remains widespread. Fuel interruptions, an unpredictable security environment, and the limited number of humanitarian actors able to operate pose risks. One million meals a day meets an urgent demand, but it does not eliminate it.
WCK Founder José Andrés joined CBS Mornings to discuss what it takes to deliver food at unprecedented scale amid ongoing crisis. In the interview, José reflects on the reality facing millions of Palestinians without reliable access to food, water, or medical care—and how World Central Kitchen has been responding since 2023. Today, WCK is serving 1 million hot meals every single day in Gaza, powered by local teams, partners, and relentless coordination to reach families who need support most.
