Because in the end (...) it is not agreements but of human dignity in question, "she said. Rania has also called for "safer roads" for those wishing to visit Europe. "Many humanitarian organizations have expressed their deep concern about the EU-Turkey agreement (...) I think the serious concern is that many of the refugees will continue in desperation to seek safety and protection by seeking new routes yet more dangerous, and already we witness the expansion of alternative routes in Europe. So it is absolutely crucial for us to seek legal alternatives and safer roads (...) to Europe and the security zones "she said.
