Shadi is checking in from WCK’s Deir al-Balah kitchen, where we have eight reverse osmosis (R.O.) systems running daily to keep expanding our clean water distribution. With these systems, we are able to provide access to clean water to even more communities in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza

WCK teams in Jordan are standing by with trucks loaded with vital ingredients, ready to enter Gaza the moment access is granted. We have more than 100 trucks ready to roll (and 100s of trucks ready to take more supplies), but we still don't have permission from Israel to bring in aid. #ChefsForGaza
