Charity kitchens are fuel for life in Gaza

Gaza – together – in light of the most difficult circumstances that are going on in the Gaza Strip, the loss of the normal course of daily life, and the ongoing aggression against the Strip, which has cast a bad shadow on all aspects of life, which begin from the loss of the right to life to the loss of the right to housing, food, security and safety.

More than two million and 200 thousand Gazans are living in catastrophic conditions and a constant threat, in addition to a real famine caused by the Israeli occupation in its recent war on the Gaza Strip, in light of extremely difficult humanitarian conditions and an ambiguous political horizon. Today, the responsibility is on humanity within Palestine and the entire world to stop the war first and protect lives. Palestinians from death in its various forms, due to diseases, hunger and thirst.

International and humanitarian organizations sought to launch a number of kitchen and hospice initiatives in an attempt to reduce the enormous food need experienced by
the residents of the Gaza Strip. These initiatives worked in light of the limited basic materials for cooking, under the strict occupation restrictions, and in introducing food aid.

These kitchens and hospices are considered one of the main places that citizens in Gaza resort to to obtain their daily meals. The role of international humanitarian organizations has emerged during the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, especially the World Food Organization, the Central Food Kitchen, and many other institutions that have worked through international support. The role of the Palestinian private sector was clearly demonstrated in this file through the ‘Gaza Pride Kitchens’ established by the Palestinian Telecommunications Company and PADICO, which worked to provide thousands of hot meals daily, prepared from what is available from the local market in Gaza, where they are served to citizens in the center and north of the Strip.

In the same context, many academics and economic experts believe that the Palestinia
n private sector’s tendency to focus its social responsibility on meeting the needs of the residents of the Gaza Strip; It is an urgent moral necessity in responding to the country’s crises, and perhaps the experience of communications and PADICO is an example of what Palestinian institutions can provide to Gaza in this humanitarian catastrophe.
