The impetus for its founding was the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Jose Andres, a famous American chef, came to the scene after learning of the serious situation. This is the beginning of World Central Kitchen (WCK), an international NGO that provides meals to disaster-stricken and war zones. “If there’s a hungry person, I’ll go anywhere.” Jose’s words make me happy ▼ “Hot food” seems to be the password. When it comes to meals in disaster-stricken areas, taste tends to take a backseat, but they say they try to serve hot dishes. Build a local kitchen and cook there▼Hurricanes in the United States, forest fires in Australia, and earthquakes in Turkey. Its taste has warmed the bodies and hearts of people who have been through hardships. In Japan, meals were served to passengers on the Diamond Princess, which was stranded at Yokohama Port due to the spread of the new coronavirus ▼A tragedy occurred during operations in the Palestinian autonomous region of Gaza, which is facing a humanitarian crisis due to the Israeli invasion. . A WCK convoy was attacked by the Israeli military, killing seven staff members.The Israeli military explains that it was an “accidental bombing,” but the deaths of the staff members who ran to fill the tummies of the people who were suffering are saddening. In response to the incident, the United States called on Israel to protect civilians and improve the humanitarian situation, warning that if Israel did not comply, it would reconsider its aid to Israel. The death toll on the Gaza side has already exceeded 33,000. I think of the “cooking” that has cooled down due to the pressure from the US, which is too slow.
