'The World Central Kitchen team was traveling in a deconflicted zone in 2 armored cars branded with the WCK logo. Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the warehouse, where the team had unloaded 100+ tons of food aid.' wck.org/news/gaza-team…

Today World Central Kitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They…

This is an immense honor. This journalism was possible because Federico Rios and I have a talented, supportive and patient team behind us. Posting the stories that make up the award package. It took courage to talk to us, and to let us document these difficult journeys.

Immigrants are disproportionately shouldering the human toll of the Baltimore bridge collapse.

Six immigrant workers, including Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval, are presumed to be dead.
