.@WCKitchen has a simple motto: Feed the hungry yesterday. Don’t plan, adapt! People of North Gaza are desperate. Now a weeks old plan with @openarms_found in finally in the final stages. To land in the beaches of Gaza with 200 pallets. And to do it everyday, increasing the number…#ChefsForGaza pray for the success of this mission!..🙏

#BREAKING: Watch Duty has emergency deployed in Texas ahead of schedule due to the horrific wind-driven fires in the #Texas Panhandle. We can’t sit idly by and watch another town overrun by wildfire without giving communities life-saving information needed to make informed decisions. Be safe! #txwx #txfire #GrapevineCreekFire share.watchduty.org/i/16561 #SmokehouseCreekFire share.watchduty.org/i/16557 #WindyDeuceFire share.watchduty.org/i/16560

Low altitude Airdrop delivery to Gaza just happening! Thankful of the leadership Of @KingAbdullahII at all levels to feed everyone in Gaza and more. Love the partnership of @WCKitchen helping deliver food to Jordanian Hospital by land in the north and today for the second time we were invited to join them by air! Teamwork! 4 planes, 1 French with few thousand meals! Good test! We need to do more everyday to the north. Nobody hungry! #ChefsForGaza few weeks dreaming of this! It did happen! Yes we can! Now let’s open more entry points and by the sea too! @cogatonline thanks for allowing this to happen!

World Central Kitchen, founded by @chefjoseandres, provides on-the-ground aid during humanitarian crises. The org currently operates in Gaza, where supply shortages have forced them to innovate. Their CEO & director of emergency response join @brikeilarcnn & @jessicadean.

To meet @WCKitchen team Leader @SamBloch1 The night in Rafah are full of families walking the streets, try to by some food, on very few stands on the side roads, or just trying to find were their family or friends relocated. Drones and fighter jets above our heads, with explosions and flares in the distance…under a beautiful sky full Of stars listening to @coldplay and families warming themselves around a fire in a tent on an image that looks That a Nativity scene….lets hope Christmas season bring peace and an end to the hostilities! #ChefsForGaza

WCK's Sam is on Sanibel Island, FL. The island was devastated by Hurricane Ian—the singular causeway collapsed making it now inaccessible by car. We've flown in food & water for first responders to give to anyone still on the island as rescue efforts continue. #ChefsForFlorida
