Actor Priyanka Chopra recently visited Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar as a global UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for Child Rights. The actress took to her social media profile and urged everyone to support and care for the refugee kids.
Priyanka Chopra shared pictures of her visit to Bangladesh and shared a heartfelt message. She wrote, “I’m in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh today for a field visit with UNICEF, to one of the largest refugee camps in the world. In the second half of 2017, the world saw horrific images of ethnic cleansing from the Rakhine State of Myanmar (Burma). This violence drove nearly 700,000 Rohingya across the border into Bangladesh – 60% are children!”
“Many months later they are still highly vulnerable, living in overcrowded camps with no idea when or where they will ever belong…even worse, when they will get their next meal. AND…as they finally start to settle and feel a sense of safety, monsoon season looms…threatening to destroy all that they’ve built so far. This is an entire generation of children that have no future in sight. Through their smiles I could see the vacancy in their eyes”
“These children are at the forefront of this humanitarian crisis, and they desperately need our help. The world needs to care. We need to care. These kids are our future. Pls Lend your support at www.supportunicef.org #ChildrenUprooted @unicef @unicefbangladesh Credit: @briansokol @hhhtravels”
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra is reuniting with Salman Khan in forthcoming Bharat, helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
