Jos Andrs: Let People Eat

In the worst conditions you can imagine — after hurricanes, earthquakes, bombs
and gunfire — the best of humanity shows up. Not once or twice but always.

The seven people killed on a World Central Kitchen mission in Gaza on Monday
were the best of humanity. They are not faceless or nameless. They are not generic
aid workers or collateral damage in war.

Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, John Chapman, Jacob Flickinger, Zomi Frankcom,
James Henderson, James Kirby and Damian Sobol risked everything for the most
fundamentally human activity: to share our food with others.

These are people I served alongside in Ukraine, Turkey, Morocco, the Bahamas,
Indonesia, Mexico, Gaza and Israel. They were far more than heroes.
