welcome to the podcast. I'm David Rothkoff joined as ever by Chris Kott

wearing Riley Fessler. How you doing Chris? Great thanks.

Excellent, Riley. Pretty good. What's the first story you got for us today,

Chris? Israel's military acknowledged as a grave mistake the

airstrike that killed Seven World Central Kitchen Aid Workers in

in Gaza, leading to the suspension of the charity's operations in the

Associated U.S. Charity Anera.

This halt affects food distribution significantly as these organizations were delivering

2 million meals weekly in a region where half the population faces catastrophic hunger.

The incident also disrupted a maritime aid corridor from Cyprus intended to alleviate famine in Gaza. I also just wanted to

point to the podcast that we did last week where our guest was Nate Mook and

while he was talking about his time in Ukraine it

highlights the importance and the dangers that these aid workers are facing

and the kinds of things that they're doing.

I described them as doing God's work.

If you haven't listened to that episode.
