Chef José Andrés gave a eulogy at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC to honour the World Central Kitchen (WCK) workers killed by an Israeli air strike in Gaza on 1 April.

The founder of the charity said that Israel's explanation of the incident wasn't "good enough" and added that he and his team "demand an investigation into the actions of the IDF against our team."
