Hundreds pack church for funeral of British Gaza aid worker

The funeral of British aid worker James Kirby has taken place today at St Mary Redcliffe Church in Bristol.

Mr Kirby, 47, was one of seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) workers killed in an Israeli drone attack in Gaza in April.

His cousin Adam McGuire read a family tribute during the service, saying: “James’ decision to venture to Gaza, driven by his innate desire to help others, exemplified his selflessness and courage.” Report by Jonesia.
