Non-profit organization serves 30,000 people daily, need might be as high as 70,000 - 100,000, says area leader
World Central Kitchen will be in the quake-hit Hatay province in Turkey for "as long as" needed, said an official with the non-profit organization that dedicates itself to distributing meals in response to the humanitarian crisis.
Maxwell Eaton, the area leader of the organization, told that World Central Kitchen arrived in Hatay Province one day after twin earthquakes struck the southern region of Turkey.
Eaton said: "it is hard to tell how long it will operate in the area but noted that it will be at least two months. Cooking is starting today in our own kitchen. Underlining that they are currently serving nearly 30,000 people daily in the region. We're aiming to move that up all the way until the need is met."
