WCK Resumes Work Within Hours of Airstrike Near Mawasi Kitchen

April 2, 2025

An Israeli airstrike hit a building next to WCK’s Mawasi Field Kitchen – team members were taken to a medical center and are in stable condition. Our Culinary and Maintenance teams were back within 24 hours, preparing meals and repairing damage caused to the kitchen, working to help meet the urgent need for food as families try to evacuate on foot.

At the same time, evacuation orders in Khan Younis forced us to pause operations at our Field Kitchen in the area. Within an hour of the move, the bakery was already producing 25,000 loaves of bread daily at its new site in central Gaza. Our teams are adapting in real-time to serve as many meals as possible for Palestinians seeking safety.
