Chef José Andrés, the outspoken founder of the humanitarian group World Central Kitchen, is imploring the international community to intervene to ease the dire food crisis in Gaza, on the heels of his nonprofit resuming its aid operations there after a five-day hiatus.

The Spanish American chef penned a new op-ed in The New York Times over the weekend titled “The World Cannot Stand By With Gaza on the Brink of Famine.”

He posted a link to the op-ed on his personal Instagram, writing: “There is no excuse for the world to stand by and watch two million human beings suffer on the brink of full-blown famine.”

“A starving human being needs food today, not tomorrow,” Andrés wrote. “People of good conscience must stop the starvation in Gaza. If we want to light the darkness, we need to extend our soul to the hungry. And we need to do it now.”

WCK announced in a recent update Friday that it has resumed limited cooking operations in Gaza, but said its “ability to continue cooking” at the Deir al-Balah Field Kitchen in Gaza “remains uncertain day-to-day.”
