José Andrés praises the World Central Kitchen workers killed in Gaza as “the best of humanity” in an emotional speech at a Washington National Cathedral memorial service.
World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés gets emotional while speaking at a memorial service at Washington National Cathedral for seven WCK workers killed in Gaza.
Those being celebrated were Palestinian Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, John Chapman of Britain, Jacob Flickinger of the United States and Canada, Lalzawmi “Zomi” Frankcom of Australia, James Henderson of Britain, James Kirby of Britain, and Damian Sobol of Poland. “You are our light in the darkness,” he said as the crowd erupted in sustained applause, a rare outburst in a sacred space.
