We were heartbroken to learn of the tragic news from our esteemed friends at World Central Kitchen that seven of their aid workers were killed in Gaza.
This loss is felt deeply by all of us at Myriad Canada, as over the past several years, we have worked closely with WCK in Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti and the USA – delivering hope and aid amidst despair and developing strong connections with their incredible team The crisis in Gaza is severe, with the majority facing acute food insecurity and the shadow of famine looming large. Despite this tragedy, we are inspired to continue our mission with even greater determination, honoring the legacy of those who dedicate their lives to serving humanity. As of right now, World Central Kitchen has suspended their operations in Gaza. While their team regroups and figures out their next steps, we urge you to continue to support ongoing efforts to provide desperately needed aid – wherever it is most required. Your generosity fuels hope and sustains life in the darkest times. Together, we can make a difference. Please donate now. |
Gaza Humanitarian Aid Fund with World Central Kitchen
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has created a dire situation for the civilian population of Gaza.
Ninety percent of Gaza’s population has been displaced, with more than 1 million people fleeing Rafah seeking refuge in Al Mawasi, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis. This massive displacement has created a humanitarian crisis, with more than two-thirds of Gaza’s population (1.7 million people) now crammed into a tiny sliver of land that is just 69 square kilometers/27 square miles (source: UNRWA).
“The situation unfolding in North Gaza is apocalyptic…The entire Palestinian population in North Gaza is at imminent risk of dying from disease, famine, and violence,” according to the World Health Organization (source: WHO Statement, Nov. 1, 2024.)
Families are struggling to access essential resources, such as food, water, and shelter. Lack of sanitation also poses a serious health threat, and the health system is on the brink of collapse. This volatile situation requires an urgent, unwavering response.
Funds raised are being used by Myriad Canada to implement urgent humanitarian relief projects with the help of our trusted, long-time partner World Central Kitchen, by swiftly responding to the most pressing needs on the ground.
More than 90 million meals to people in Gaza have been distributed since this conflict began, including fresh water, food, and hot meals to families by land, sea, and air, despite increasingly unpredictable and dangerous conditions on the ground.
Despite incredible challenges and having overcome heartbreaking tragedies, WCK is committed to doing whatever it takes to feed people in Gaza. The exceptionally innovative Procurement and Logistics team is working diligently to continue to fuel its monumental and continuous supply chain of humanitarian aid into Gaza, including by:
“Our destiny is to feed the many. To be an army of goodness where a plate of food becomes a plate of hope…a light in dark times. Together, we can change the world through the power of food.”
– Chef José Andrés, Founder, World Central Kitchen
