We are deeply shocked by the death of seven employees of the aid organization World Central Kitchen. They were killed today in an airstrike on their convoy by the Israeli army.
We are saddened by the loss of seven people who were torn from their lives in the performance of their humanitarian duties and in the exercise of human solidarity.
We are furious that humanitarian aid workers are repeatedly the victims of attacks despite all their efforts and, as in this case, have to pay for their commitment with their lives.
We are shocked by the incomprehensible harshness with which the fighting in the Gaza Strip is being waged, the disregard for humanitarian law and the recklessness with which civilian casualties are being accepted.
The fighting must stop NOW, humanitarian aid must be made possible and the hostages must be released! Our thoughts are with the dead WCK employees and their families and the victims of the war in Gaza.
Ukraine: Four years between war and emergency response
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The fighting has been going on for four years now, and with it our humanitarian aid on the ground.
Gaza – Contradictory developments
A ceasefire has been officially in place in Gaza since October 2025. More than three months later, however, there are no clear signs of progress towards peace. Uncertainty and deprivation continue to dominate everyday life in Gaza.
