Queen Rania underscores urgent need for ceasefire in Gaza

Queen Rania of Jordan has underscored the urgent need for a ceasefire in Gaza.

“This has been a slow-motion, mass murder of children, five months in the making. Children who were thriving and healthy just months ago are wasting away in front of their parents,” Queen Rania said, in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.

“It is absolutely shameful, outrageous, and entirely predictable what’s happening in Gaza today – because it was deliberate,” she added.

Queen Rania gave the interview from the King Abdullah II Airbase, where aid was being prepared to be airdropped to Gaza.

“Children are starving as we speak, so every moment and every meal counts,” she said.
