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.
Cholera mission in Angola – Part 1
In response to a request for assistance from the Angolan government due to an ongoing cholera outbreak, CADUS deployed a technical assistance team as part of a joint EMT mission with Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund, Malteser International and the Robert Koch Institute.
“The red thread must become the red line again!”
On 27.05.25, we and eight other humanitarian aid organizations working in Gaza drew a "red line" in front of the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin to demand compliance with international law. For us it is clear: the protection of civilians, medical personnel and humanitarian aid is non-negotiable! We document our translated speech at the rally here.
Complex crisis – simple answer: solidarity!
"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy," said chainsaw-wielding multi-billionaire Elon Musk in a recent podcast. And he is right. But differently than he thinks.
