The World Central Kitchen was founded by Michelin-starred chef Jose Andres in 2010 following an earthquake in Haiti. It has since expanded to provide meals to survivors and refugees of natural disasters and wars.
In 2022, the organization provided tens of millions of food parcels in Ukraine following the Russian invasion. The founder of the organization, the American-Spanish chef Andres, has a restaurant in Washington with two Michelin stars. "The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing," Anders said following the incident last night.
