Food is not secondary to crisis response. Food is the frontline response. WCK CEO Javier García joined the @MilkenInstitute’s Global Conference yesterday alongside Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times, Tirana Hassan of Médecins Sans Frontières, Cindy McCain of the World Food Programme, and Janti Soeripto of Save the Children US to discuss what comes next for humanitarian aid as the global development landscape is rapidly transformed—and what it means for the families who depend on it, including hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza. As traditional aid systems contract and funding gaps widen, WCK has invested more than $500 million in Gaza since October 2023. We've employed thousands of people and served as many as one million hot meals a day. But one NGO, funded largely by private donations, cannot carry this alone. Rising costs driven by the conflict in Iran have forced difficult decisions about the scale of our operations. The conversation around aid needs to change. Humanitarian assistance is not charity. It is an investment in peace, security, and global stability. The world needs to step up—with funding, not just words.
