UNICEF goodwill ambassador and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra is appalled at what she called bleak future of the Rohingya children, reports UNB.

She strongly feels that Rohingya children can have a chance at a future with help from all.

"For a lot of the Rohingya children, this ordeal will leave them scarred, physically and emotionally, for the rest of their lives. With your help, maybe these children can have a chance at a future," she said on Tuesday.

"We need to care. Please lend your support," Priyanka said making a call for supporting the Rohingya children.

"Across the river is Myanmar. It's empty now, but a few months ago this area, known as ‘Sabrang’, was filled with hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees fleeing Myanmar," she wrote on her verified Facebook page.




Their trip here, she said, was filled with many hardships and tremendous danger and many of them made their journey on foot, walking for days through the hills, then floating across the Naf river or the Bay of Bengal on make shift boats.

"Many of them injured, pregnant, elderly, etc. Their ordeal didn't end here...after entering Bangladesh, they would often have to wait for days, sleeping in the open fields with no food or water, for aid workers to reach them," she wrote.

Priyanka visited a number of Rohingya camps in Teknaf upazila in Cox’s Bazar. She first visited the camp set up at Hariyakhali Anchor point under Sabrang union of Teknaf upazila.

Hariyakhali is known as the entrance point from which these refugees entered Bangladesh from Myanmar.

Priyanka, from Hariyakhali, went to Ledha camp, where she visited a child development centre established by UNICEF.

She also visited the camp in Unchiprang area, where around 30,000 Rohingya people are currently staying.

"These children are at the forefront of this humanitarian crisis, and they desperately need our help," she said while visiting Rohingya camp in Cox's Bazar district.
