On the evening of 1 April 2024, a team of aid workers from World Central Kitchen (WCK) stood on Gaza’s Mediterranean shore overseeing the unloading(监督卸货) of a barge full of desperately needed food on a makeshift(临时的，权宜的) jetty(码头，防波堤) made of sand and rubble.
2024年4月1日傍晚，世界中央厨房（WCK）的一支援助人员队伍站在加沙的地中海海岸，监督一艘满载急需食物的驳船在由沙子和瓦砾搭建的临时码头上卸货。
The Gaza war had been raging(激烈进行，肆虐) for six months and Israel’s closure of land crossings had left the whole territory facing the threat of famine. WCK and local Palestinian contractors had constructed the jetty out of everything they could lay their hands on(弄到手，找到), including debris(碎片，残骸) from the bombed house of one of the contractors, so that the pallets(托盘，货板) of humanitarian assistance could be delivered by boat from Cyprus.
加沙战争已激烈进行六个月，以色列关闭陆路口岸使整个地区面临饥荒威胁。WCK与当地巴勒斯坦承包商利用一切能弄到手的材料，包括其中一名承包商被炸毁房屋的瓦砾，建造了这座码头，以便人道主义援助物资的托盘能够从塞浦路斯用船运来。
A consignment(一批货物，托运物) of 200 tonnes of rice, flour and other proteins had arrived two weeks earlier, the first sea shipment to dock(停靠码头) in Gaza since 2007. This was the second shipment and it was even bigger, with enough food to prepare more than 1m meals, as well as a Ramadan(斋月，伊斯兰教历九月) gift of dates(椰枣) from the United Arab Emirates.
一批200吨的大米、面粉和其他蛋白质食品在两周前抵达，这是自2007年以来第一艘停靠加沙的海运货物。这是第二批货物，规模更大，所载食物足以制作超过100万顿饭，还有来自阿联酋的斋月礼物——椰枣。
