US EditionWorld Central Kitchen halts work in Gaza as supplies run out
- World Central Kitchen, a U.S.-based charity, halted its aid operations in Gaza on Wednesday 2025-05-07 due to a total Israeli blockade preventing supply entry.
- The blockade began on March 2, 2025, after Israel ended a two-month ceasefire and resumed military actions aiming to pressure Hamas for hostage releases.
- Before suspending operations, WCK provided 133,000 meals and baked 80,000 loaves daily, but now trucks carrying food and fuel remain stuck in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel, waiting for clearance to enter Gaza.
- Since early 2025, more than 10,000 children suffered acute malnutrition in Gaza, with March cases rising 80% to 3,600, and nearly half of 200 nutrition centers closing due to displacement and bombardment.
- The suspension of WCK’s food aid highlights the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where severe food shortages and malnutrition threaten millions under an ongoing blockade.
