Priyanka Chopra in Cox's Bazar to visit Rohingya camps

Bollywood actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Priyanka Chopra arrived in Bangladesh on a four-day visit to witness Rohingya situation on the ground.

"Follow my Instagram to share my experiences as I visit the #Rohingya #Refugee camps on this #UnicefFieldVisit. #ChildrenUprooted," she tweeted with her photo from flight.

"The world needs to care. We need to care," she added.

Hours after her arrival in Dhaka in the morning, she left for Cox's Bazar by a private airlines flight.

"She is already in Cox's Bazar and will spend next two days in Cox's Bazar. She will return Dhaka on Thursday," an official said over phone.

Priyanka visited a Rohingya camp on Monday and she will visit other camps in the next two days and talk to Rohingyas, he said.

Priyanka was named a global Unicef Goodwill Ambassador, after serving as a National Goodwill Ambassador to India for ten years.

She is also a United Nations Foundation Girl Up Champion, and is involved in a number of efforts to protect children's rights and promote the education of girls in India, including her namesake charity The Priyanka Chopra Foundation for Health and Education.
