Jewish aid worker Emma Igual, 32, was one of two passengers killed over the weekend when a Russian shell struck their rescue vehicle near Bakhmut, Ukraine.

The granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, Igual grew up in Spain and attended the University of California, Berkeley, where she studied humanitarian aid.

Responding to Russia’s war on Ukraine, she co-founded the rescue charity Road to Relief, which delivers aid and drives specialist doctors to the front lines of the war. “Emma was by far the most hard-working civilian aid worker in Ukraine,” a colleague, Peter Fouche, told London’s Jewish Chronicle. “She could not keep still. She had her fingers in many pies. She was wonderfully, shockingly beautiful as well.”
