Priyanka Chopra in Dhaka, Bangladesh... Visits Rohingya refugee camps & shares pictures!

Dhaka [Bangladesh]: Actress Priyanka Chopra, who is also the global UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for Child Rights, is in Dhaka visitng the Rohingya refugee camps. Priyanka on Monday took to Twitter to share a photograph of herself from an aircraft looking out of the window. "Follow my Instagram to share my experiences as I visit the Rohingya refugee camps on this Unicef field visit. Children uprooted, the world needs to care. We need to care," Priyanka captioned the image. A few hours later, she shares the pictures from her visit and wrote with it - "I’m in Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh today for a field visit UNICEF, visiting one of the largest refugee camps in the world...".

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.

In November last year, Myanmar and Bangladesh signed an agreement to repatriate an estimated 700,000 Rohingya Muslims who fled a brutal Myanmar military campaign launched in August 2017. Before visiting Dhaka, Priyanka was in London, where she attended her friend Meghan Markle's wedding to British Royal Prince Harry.
