Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kicked off the second day of their trip to Jordan by visiting a worldwide organisation feeding people in moments of crisis. They travelled to the regional headquarters of the World Central Kitchen and heard about the huge logistical task of feeding a million Palestinians in Gaza.

Harry and Meghan chatted via video call with a distribution leader at one of the organisation’s six field kitchens in Gaza, producing daily hot meals for around 60% of the population. Wearing an all black ensemble and her long hair down, Meghan appeared to listen intently as they were told how they don’t have enough trucks to get the food to Gaza.

Wadhah Hubaishi, the organisation’s response director for the Middle East and North Africa, told the couple that ochre and rice was the meal for Thursday. He said: “This is one of our most delicious meals for the Gaza people. Within two hours, we will start distributing the food. We need 20 trucks (of supplies) every day from Egypt, not enough trucks are coming in, that really affects us more than any other actor.”

Founded by chef Jose Andres, the organisation uses a network of field and community kitchens, bakeries and partners to enable almost half the population of Gaza to be fed.

Mr Hubaishi said their mantra was “food with smiles” provided by Gazans for Gazans and highlighted the need for food by telling the couple the touching story of a boy who had never seen a banana.

“A three-year-old ate a banana and asked his father ‘can I eat the peel’,” he said.

They then joined a World Health Organization (WHO) delegation for a visit to the national centre for rehabilitation of addicts as promoting mental health support is one of the themes of their visit.
