Staffers from World Central Kitchen, chef José Andrés' humanitarian aid group trying to get food to Palestinians in Gaza, were killed in an Israeli airstrike.
It was the middle of the night at chef José Andrés’ field headquarters on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus when word came in. The early details were frightening enough, but very quickly turned utterly catastrophic. Seven staff members from World Central Kitchen, the Andrés-founded humanitarian aid group that has been frantically working to get food aid to Palestinians in war-wrecked Gaza, had been killed late Monday in an airstrike on their convoy near the town of Deir al Balah.
So far, everyone had told Andrés — he was in touch with Israeli officials every day and had just come from a trip to Tel Aviv to meet with Israeli military — it was impossible. But when the Los Angeles Times visited his Cyprus operation in mid-February, he brimmed with his trademark gravel-voiced enthusiasm.
