World Central Kitchen workers injured in Kharkiv missile strike, org says
Four staff members of World Central Kitchen were injured in a shelling in Kharkiv in northeast Ukraine on Saturday, the organization said.
"Food heroes them all!" chef and founder Jose Andres said on Twitter. "Relief that so far that just were 4 wounded…..praying for them!"
The "Russian attacks must stop against civilian buildings and markets and churches and schools," he added.
The organization, which responds to disaster situations, has been providing meals to refugee families leaving Ukraine.
World Central Kitchen CEO Nate Mook said a missile struck one of the World Central Kitchen's partner restaurants in Kharkiv, which has seen heavy shelling.
"As you can see, tremendous amounts of damage," Mook said in a video posted to Twitter Saturday from the scene, standing before debris and burned-out cars.
Mook said "a number" of staff were wounded and hospitalized, and that one person not affiliated with the organization was killed.
"Just a tremendous amount of carnage left behind for no reason," he said. "Just absolutely horrific brutality."
