World Central Kitchen 'resuming operations' in Gaza after airstrike killed 7 workers

World Central Kitchen, founded by celebrity chef José Andrés, is planning to resume its aid work in Gaza on Monday after it decided to pause its operations when seven workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike on April 1.

"We will continue to get as much food into Gaza, including northern Gaza, as possible—by land, air, or sea," the organization said in a news release. "We have 276 trucks, with the equivalent of almost 8 million meals, ready to enter through the Rafah Crossing. We’ll also send trucks from Jordan."

The aid workers who died in the airstrike were Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, a 25-year-old Palestinian; Lalzawmi (Zomi) Frankcom, a 43-year-old Australian; Damian Soból, a 35-year-old from Poland; Jacob Flickinger, a 33-year-old dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada; John Chapman, 57, James (Jim) Henderson, 33, and James Kirby, 47 from the United Kingdom, according to news reports.
