Queen Rania calls for Gaza ceasefire at Web Summit Qatar

Queen Rania of Jordan has called for a Gaza ceasefire at the Web Summit Qatar.

She also called for an end to the obstruction of the delivery of aid. She said, “Why is the killing of some condemned, while the killing of others justified? Why is depriving one child of food a crime, but starving one million Gazan children an acceptable outcome of war?”

Queen Rania spoke at the first-ever Web Summit Qatar conference, where she highlighted the role social media has played in Palestinians sharing their stories with the world.

She added, “The people of Gaza have never been more connected – yet never more isolated. Cut off from food, water, medicine, fuel, and everything required to sustain human life, they have continued to reach for their phones… to reach for us.”
