Chef Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen said its team on the ground in Gaza had finished unloading the first maritime delivery, the Times of Israel reported. “All cargo was offloaded and is being readied for distribution in Gaza,” the organization said.
The delivery included “almost 200 tons of food,” the group added.
World Central Kitchen built a temporary jetty to allow the flat-bottomed barge to approach Gaza to compensate for the lack of a port, the Times of Israel said.
There is little information available about how exactly the food will be distributed to Gaza’s civilians.
