UNICEF
Goodwill
Ambassador
Priyanka
Chopra
today
visited
Rohingya
refugee
camps
in
Cox's
Bazar,
Bangladesh
and
calling
the
crisis
"horrific"
the
actor
urged
people
to
help
the
children
affected
by
it.
The
35-year-old
Bollywood
star,
who
is
in
on
a
field
visit
to
Bangladesh,
said
the
world
needs
to
come
together
to
give
Rohingya
refugee
kids
a
secure
future.
"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
per
cent
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.
hese
children
are
at
the
forefront
of
this
humanitarian
crisis,
and
they
desperately
need
our
help.
The
world
needs
to
care.
We
need
to
care.
The
kids
are
our
future,"
Priyanka
posted
on
Instagram
alongside
series
of
pictures
of
her
with
the
kids.
Last
year,
Priyanka
had
visited
a
Syrian
refugee
camp
in
the
Jordanian
capital
of
Amman.
