Inside a place that's hosted presidents and royals, hundreds gathered within the National Cathedral in Washington to honor the lives of seven people who gave their lives trying to help those in need.
"The seven souls we mourn today were there so hungry people could eat: Saifeddin Abutaha, John Chapman, Jacob Flickinger, Zomi Frankcom, Jim Henderson, James Kirby and Damian Sobol. They risked everything to feed people they did not know," said Andres. Andres has been a vocal critic of Israel's blockade of aid to Gaza and has called for an independent investigation into the strikes that killed the aid workers.
Among those lost: 33-year-old Jacob Flickinger, a dual American-Canadian citizen described by Andres as"a leader," along with citizens of the U.K., Australia, Poland and a Palestinian.
