    In turn, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Ted Chaiban, said: “It is an absolute honor to welcome Yara to the UNICEF family in the region.”

    “We are grateful for all of Yara’s effort to support our work especially in the #MaskUp campaign to encourage more people to wear masks to protect against the COVID-19 pandemic,” he added.

    Yara, who currently lives in Dubai, is a former Ambassador to the Lebanese Red Cross and the European Union with a focus on youth.
