Seven World Central Kitchen workers died in an Israeli airstrike on April 1 in Gaza. The killings disrupted a flow of badly needed food into Gaza, as international organizations warn of famine.
4月1日,7名“世界中央厨房”的员工在以色列袭击加沙中死亡。国际组织警告说,这些杀戮扰乱了急需的粮食流入加沙。
World Central Kitchen, an American charity, has grown into one of the world's most recognized food relief organizations. The group, in partnership with the United Arab Emirates, had just delivered a cargo ship with over 360 metric tons of canned goods from Cyprus to Gaza. About 90 metric tons were delivered before the charity suspended operations after the attack. The rest was being taken back to Cyprus, a Cypriot government official said.
美国慈善机构“世界中央厨房”已发展成为世界上最受认可的粮食救济组织之一。该组织与阿拉伯联合酋长国合作,刚刚从塞浦路斯向加沙运送了一艘载有360多吨罐头食品的货船。该慈善机构在袭击发生后暂停了运营,在此之前已经交付了大约90公吨。一名塞浦路斯政府官员说,剩下的被运回塞浦路斯。
Chef and restaurant owner José Andrés founded World Central Kitchen in 2010. His goal is to provide immediate food relief to disaster areas.
厨师兼餐厅老板何塞·安德烈斯于2010年创立了世界中央厨房。他的目标是向灾区提供紧急粮食救济。
The organization gained international recognition for its work in Puerto Rico in 2017 feeding victims of Hurricane Maria. World Central Kitchen also operates in Ukraine and has provided more than 100 million meals to refugees there, the group's website says.
该组织因2017年在波多黎各为飓风玛丽亚的受害者提供食物而获得国际认可。该组织网站称,世界中央厨房也在乌克兰运营,并为那里的难民提供了超过1亿份餐食。
Andrés has ties to the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden. He serves as co-chair of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition.
安德雷斯与美国总统乔·拜登政府有联系。他是总统运动、健身和营养委员会的联合主席。
In a statement Tuesday night, Biden said he had spoken with Andrés to express "condolences for the deaths of these courageous aid workers and to express my continued support for his" organization and its work around the world.
在周二晚上的一份声明中,拜登表示,他已与安德烈斯通话,对这些勇敢的救援人员的死亡表示“哀悼,并表示我继续支持他的”组织及其在世界各地的工作。
Biden said Israel was not doing enough to protect aid workers. "This conflict has been one of the worst in recent memory in terms of how many aid workers have been killed," he said.
拜登表示,以色列在保护援助人员方面做得不够。他说:“就有多少救援人员被杀而言,这场冲突是最近记忆中最严重的冲突之一。”
The loss of World Central Kitchen will be harm humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
世界中央厨房的损失将损害加沙的人道主义努力。
The killings may also represent a change in Andrés' public view of the Israeli government. On Tuesday, he strongly criticized the Israeli military.
这些杀戮也可能代表安德雷斯对以色列政府公开看法的改变。周二,他强烈批评了以色列军方。
"The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon," Andrés wrote on the social media service X.
安德雷斯在社交媒体服务X上写道:“以色列政府需要停止这种滥杀无辜的行为。它需要停止限制人道主义援助,停止杀害平民和救援人员,停止将食物用作武器。”
His organization blamed the attack on the Israel Defense Forces. He said the military had coordinated over the movement of the cars carrying the workers as they left northern Gaza late Monday.
他的组织将这次袭击归咎于以色列国防军。他说,当这些工人周一晚些时候离开加沙北部时,军方已经协调了他们所乘坐汽车的行动。
Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi is Israel's military chief. He said the strike was "a mistake that followed a misidentification – at night during a war in very complex conditions. It shouldn't have happened."
赫齐·哈莱维中将是以色列的军事首脑。他说,这次袭击是“一场误判之后的错误——在一场条件非常复杂的战争中的夜晚。这不应该发生。”
Video after the attack showed a vehicle with the charity's name printed across its top to make it identifiable from the air.
袭击发生后的视频显示,一辆车的顶部印有该慈善机构的名字,以便从空中辨认。
The victims of the attack included three British nationals, an Australian, a Polish national, an American-Canadian dual citizen and a Palestinian, according to hospital records.
根据医院记录,袭击的受害者包括三名英国公民、一名澳大利亚人、一名波兰人、一名美加双重国籍公民和一名巴勒斯坦人。
