World Central Kitchen resuming operations in Gaza

World Central Kitchen is resuming operations in Gaza after a number of its aid workers were killed by Israeli Defence Forces’ airstrikes. 44-year-old Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom was one of seven World Central Kitchen workers killed when an Israeli airstrike struck their van returning from delivering food in Northern Gaza. “Can’t give up in the face of these things, and I do salute World Central Kitchen for starting again – Zomi was a special person, my heart goes out to her family still,” World Vision CEO Daniel Wordsworth told Sky News Australia. “In the face of these things, you have to act. We can’t sit here and not do something. “There’s hope because these things, even though they become in the news, they are so bright and they are so vivid and they are so appalling and they become so dominant in our imagination, but the truth is the world is much better than all of these things. “We have the ability to respond – there are people like Zomi that are ready to go and actually act, and so we can sort of throw ourselves into these environments and literally make the world better for these people.”
