Australian Lalzawmi 'Zomi' Frankcom, who was killed in an airstrike in Gaza, has been remembered as a 'brave' family member and a 'bloody legend' by friends.
She was known to her family and friends simply as "Zomi". "A bloody legend", is how NSW resident Karuna Bajracharya describes his friend, whose full name is Lalzawmi Frankcom. For years, Frankcom had been working around the world with the non-government organisation World Central Kitchen to deliver food aid to people in need.
I saw 'World Central Kitchen' and the second post had her passport on it," he told SBS News. Bajracharya said his friend was a "larger than life" character and a caring person, saying she helped provide free meals and aid to communities in Braidwood after the Black Summer bushfires. "That's the kind of person she was, if there was trouble somewhere she'd drop everything and be there.
