Bollywood actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Priyanka Chopra yesterday said Rohingya children can have a chance at a future with help from all because right now, she thinks, their future is bleak, UNB reports from Cox's Bazar. "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.

Priyanka reiterated her call that the world needs to care. "We need to care. Please lend your support." "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 of the district. She first visited the camp set up at Hariyakhali Anchor point under Sabrang union of Teknaf upazila.
