Ivanka was accompanied by USAID Administrator Mark Green and Acting OPIC President and CEO Dave Bohigian to the Holy Trinity Church.
While there the daughter of the US president Donald Trump who is his special adviser met with religious leaders representing the diverse faiths of those who perished in the crash, before laying a wreath, and observing a moment of silence.

Ms Trump who is on a tour of Africa on Sunday toured several facilities in Addis Ababa including a textile plant and a coffee shop.
She will later in the week visit Ivory Coast.
