"We have decided that we must continue our mission" and "give food to the inhabitants in these particularly difficult times," the NGO said.

"We have 276 trucks, with the equivalent of 8 million meals, ready to enter the Rafah crossing," the organization wrote, claiming to have already distributed "more than 43 million meals".

WCK had stopped its work in Gaza, due to the attacks of April 1, when Zionist missiles hit the organization’s vehicles, even though Tel Aviv forces knew of its presence in the area.

The tragedy outraged the international community and various Governments, and several humanitarian organizations left the area because of the insecurity to which humanitarian workers were exposed.

"Although we have no concrete guarantees, we are still looking for answers," says the NGO, which insists on the need for "an international and impartial investigation".

The organization plans to send aid trucks from Jordan and is building a third kitchen in Gaza to give food and humanitarian aid to the people.
