May 22, 2018Priyanka Chopra Visits Refugee Camp Days After Attending The Royal Wedding & Shares Emotional Plea For Help
Just days after celebrating at the Royal Wedding, Priyanka
Chopra visited one of the largest refugee camps in the world to raise awareness
for a massive humanitarian crisis.
The "Quantico" star travelled to Cox's Bazar,
Bangladesh on Monday with UNICEF, where nearly 700,000 Rohingya are seeking
refuge. Priyanka shared powerful photos of herself surrounded by children to
bring attention to the camp's "horrific" living conditions and asked
her millions of followers for help.
In her emotional plea, Priyanka shared that the children in
Cox'z Bazar 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."
"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," she added.
With UNICEF's aid, the 35-year-old helps to create child-friendly
spaces in an effort to help these children find their spirit again.
"It doesn’t matter where a child is from or what his or
her circumstances are… NO child deserves a life without hope for the
future," Priyanka wrote. "The world needs to care. We need to care."
