Pelosi Statement on World Central Kitchen Workers Killed in Gaza

San Francisco – Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after seven World Central Kitchen workers were killed in an IDF strike in Gaza:

“The killing of seven World Central Kitchen workers delivering deeply needed food aid in Gaza is an outrage.  Our prayers are with these heroes and their families during this sad time — as well as with the innocent civilians killed and families suffering in Gaza.

“José Andrés and his team are angels on the earth, with unimaginable courage.  They are putting their own lives on the line to save lives in Gaza and around the world.  Their heroism must not be met with violence.

“The government of Israel must allow the flow of life-saving aid to innocent families in Gaza and ensure safe passage for those delivering the aid.  Hunger cannot be a weapon of war. We must share our food and our humanity.”
