World Central Kitchen founder writes that aid workers are 'no longer safe' in Gaza and Ukraine
In a Guardian opinion piece, World Central Kitchen founder Jose Andres wrote that protections for aid workers under international law have eroded, citing the 2024 killing of his colleagues in Gaza.
Jose Andres, founder of the food aid charity World Central Kitchen, wrote in a Guardian opinion column that seven of his colleagues were killed in Gaza, and argued that protections for aid workers under the Geneva Conventions have become "paper thin."
Andres wrote that it now appears the 2024 attack on World Central Kitchen workers was a deliberate tactic by Israel's military, and argued that such protections have been repeatedly ignored in the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
