How WCK sent desperately needed food by sea to Gaza

Help us get aid to Palestinian families in need: https://donate.wck.org/give/525879#!/...

World Central Kitchen’s team delivered almost 200 tons of desperately needed food in northern Gaza that arrived on our first maritime aid shipment to the region. Carried on the Open Arms, the cargo is part of Operation Safeena, our effort to bring as much aid as possible to Palestinians by sea.

This first maritime shipment of food, including rice, flour, legumes, canned vegetables, and proteins, was organized alongside the United Arab Emirates and Cyprus. WCK teams built the jetty used to offload the aid so it can reach communities facing starvation as soon as possible.

We have provided more than 40 million meals to families in war-torn Gaza by land, sea, and air since first responding to the conflict. The opening of this maritime corridor allows us to provide millions more meals. We invite you to take a behind-the-scenes look at how we sent the first boat to reach Gaza in almost two decades.
