Stephen Colbert Spotlights World Central Kitchen Deaths: ‘This Is Not an Isolated Incident’


Stephen Colbert highlighted the deaths of seven World Central Kitchen workers by an Israeli strike on 'The Late Show.'

“I hope there is one thing we can all agree on: human beings should have food and water,” Colbert said after acknowledging the vast divisions in opinions on the current conflict between Israel and Hamas. “Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route,” the organization confirmed. The founder also published an op-ed in The New York Times on Wednesday, remembering the victims as more than “generic aid workers or collateral damage in war.”
