Chef José Andrés called for an end to “indiscriminate killing” by Israel’s army, the Israel Defense Forces, in Gaza after an air strike took the lives of several members of his World Central Kitchen organization on Monday.

“We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy.
