Priyanka Chopra seeks support for Rohingya children

Globally renowned actress Priyanka Chopra has once again called on the world to turn their face to Rohingya children in dire straits.

“This is little Shohida (8 months old), who stole my heart with her infectious smile. It’s a poignant reminder of the dichotomy of life,” she said in a facebook live post from

Katupalong refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar.

On Thursday, the last day of her four-day visit as a goodwill ambassador of UNICEF, Priyanka discussed the effects of the Rohingya refugee crisis on the children who have been uprooted and forced to flee their homes in Myanmar.

“When you’re dealing with a mass exodus of thousands of people, who have been displaced from their homes and are desperate for refuge, the need for proper health and nutrition takes centre stage...especially for women and children,” she wrote in another post.

More than 60,000 babies have been born in the camps over the past 8 months.

"No child deserves a life like this. These children deserve a right to have a future, the right to dream," she said in a Facebook Live post from Ukhia Thursday morning.

UNB adds: Priyanka interacted with the little ones and chatted about how their life was before they came to the camp.

She posted a few pictures on her social media account which melted hearts of her followers. Along with that, she wrote a caption which read.

"The world needs to care. We need to care. Please lend your support at www.supportunicef.org #ChildrenUprooted @unicef @unicefbangladesh," she wrote on her Facebook wall.
