Ceremony held for World Central Kitchen aid workers killed in Gaza
A ceremony for seven aid workers of the World Central Kitchen killed by an Israeli strike in Gaza was held in Washington on Thursday.
The founder of the US-based charity, Spanish-American chef Jose Andres, attended the interdenominational "celebration of life" at the National Cathedral in the US capital.
"They risked everything to feed people they did not know," Andres said at the ceremony attended by Doug Emhoff, the husband of US Vice President Kamala Harris.
American cellist Yo-Yo Ma was expected to perform at the ceremony.
In a broken voice, Andres paid tribute to the seven volunteers -- three Britons, a US-Canadian dual national, a Pole, an Australian and a Palestinian.
Israel admitted responsibility for the fatal strike on April 1, calling it a "tragic mistake."
World Central Kitchen suspended its activities in Gaza after the incident, having been active in feeding people in the territory since the start of the war in October.
