The BBC has spoken to the cousins of killed aid worker James Kirby, who they describe as "completely selfless" - the reason which they say he wanted to go to Gaza.
Amy Roxburgh-Barry and Adam McGuire say that Gaza was somewhere James was "buzzing" to go to. Prosecutors in the home city of the Polish aid worker killed in Gaza are launching an investigation into the 35-year-old's death.
Adam says: “I’ve spoken to some colleagues of his and he was a professional. He would have the route set up and been in contact with everyone. "We have started an investigation into the killing of Polish citizen Damian Sobol on April 1-2 in the Gaza Strip as a result
"He was there to get people from A to B, and it didn’t happen. What happened was unforeseen.” of an attack by the Israeli armed forces using explosives," Beata Starzecka, the deputy District Prosecutor in Przemyśl, has told PAP state news agency.
Amy says James’ last conversation with his mother, her aunt, was to wish her a happy Easter. Sobol, a native of Przemyśl in south-eastern Poland, was identified by the mayor of the city, Wojciech Bakun, on Tuesday.
“I only knew he was going because the last conversation I had with him, he said he wanted to take his mum on a cruise when he got back," Amy adds. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said the reaction of his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, to the killing has caused "understandable anger" in Poland.
She adds that she's “shocked we can’t finish that conversation and he can’t do that for his mum”.
