Queen Rania, who is UNICEFs Eminent Advocate for Children, was accompanied by UNICEF Regional Director Sigrid Kaag and other UN agency representatives.

In an urgent message to world leaders, Her Majesty warned that our humanity is incomplete when children, irrespective of nationality, are victims of military operations.
